I would certainly watch this, but the headline you've chosen seems misleading at best:
https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/t...od-2023-12-22/
An October 2023 press release announcing a partnership between meat processing company Tyson Foods and insect ingredients supplier Protix has been misrepresented online to falsely claim that it is evidence of insects being added to food for people. A Tyson Foods spokesperson said the deal would not impact any food products meant for human consumption.
In recent years, pet food manufacturers have turned to insects and larvae as a sustainable protein source to feed animals.
A post on Facebook (archived) shared a snippet of the press release with a caption suggesting the partnership may impact “chicken nuggets” for human consumption. Another post (archived) claimed that restaurants serving food “supplied by Tyson” would contain bugs.
However, the Tyson Foods press release did not mention the use of insects in food for people and screenshots shared online omit context about the products affected by the partnership.
The full press release, dated Oct. 17, 2023 (archived), states in the second paragraph that Tyson Foods and Protix have entered a joint venture to construct and operate “an insect ingredient facility” that will create “high-quality insect proteins and lipids which will primarily be used in the pet food, aquaculture, and livestock industries.”
A spokesperson for Tyson Foods said in a Dec. 21 email that the venture would manufacture products to be used as a “sustainable ingredient within premium pet food, and as sustainable protein alternatives for aquatic organisms such as salmon and shrimp,” adding that “these products are not being added to food intended for human consumption.”
The ingredients in Tyson Foods’ chicken nuggets are listed on the company’s website. It does not list insect derivatives.
(Updated on Dec. 22 to correct a formatting error in paragraph 2)
VERDICT
No evidence. The scope of Tyson Foods’ partnership with Protix is limited to the use of insect ingredients in animal feed, not in food meant for human consumption.

the headline for the thread includes everything in the thread, and it's not misleading at all really.
Also,I didn't post anything about "chicken nuggets" that your "fact check" mentions.
However, Protix's major focus does appear to be on feed for livestock like chicken and the like.
BTW the World Economic Forum seem to really appreciate their work. And they are OVERT advocates of Humans eating bug products.
Protixs own website talks about innovation and "food".
MAYBE we should give Tyson and Protix the benny of the doubt.
But I'm not sure why.

You're glossing over Tyson. I agree with the rest. I'm no fan of Tyson, won't buy their products.

Why? I'm not a fan of chicken at allI generally get local from HEB when I do force myself to eat it. Grandkids however think chicken nuggets are a basic food group.
I vaguely recall hearing something negative about Tyson but don't recall.

It's several things, I don't go with 'boycotts,' but do avoid companies that seem unethical or just bad in general. (think of my opinions on Trump.)Why? I'm not a fan of chicken at all
I vaguely recall hearing something negative about Tyson but don't recall.
Tyson was a big employer of illegals and paying them zippo-basically like Chinese treat their own people. Unsurprisingly they've been at ground zero at treating their pigs and chickens cruelly. Seems like there was more, but those two were enough for me. Mind you, I'm going back 15-20 years or so. Sometimes one just starts saying, 'no' to certain brands, regardless of price.
