Lidl Ireland's new 'insect burgers' divides opinions

Lidl shoppers were shocked after the budget-friendly supermarket has started selling "insect burgers".

The frozen patties have divided opinions following their introduction onto store shelves in Ireland. The My Street Food Soya and Insect Patties are made from "textured soy flour and ground dried mealworm larva".

The products are around 230 calories per serving and low in saturated fat and sugar. Lidl has reassured customers that the product has "undergone extensive quality testing” and “is safe to eat”.
