• Potential of insect-based diets for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) (2018, background): “Cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb), which are often present in farmed insect larvae (Charlton et al., 2015; Diener et al., 2015), increased in the diets with IM inclusion.”
• Aquatic food security: insights into challenges and solutions from an analysis of interactions between fisheries, aquaculture, food safety, human health, fish and human welfare, economy and environment (2016, background): “One screening of insect-based feeds for 1000 chemical risks found few contaminants, but cadmium levels were higher than permissible EU limits in some instances (Charlton et al. 2015).”
• Standardisation of quantitative resource conversion studies with black soldier fly larvae (2020, methodology): “It goes beyond the scope of this article to provide directions for these analyses and we stimulate colleagues to explore recent publications in this and other journals (e.g. Charlton et al. , 2015; Diener et al. , 2015; Van der Fels-Klerx et al. , 2016).”

• Insect and fish by-products as sustainable alternatives to conventional animal proteins in animal nutrition (2020, background): “More research aimed at assessing the safety risks deriving from chemicals, mycotoxins, heavy metals, pesticides and other residues (Charlton et al. 2015; EFSA 2015; Purschke et al. 2017; Camenzuli et al. 2018; Leni et al. 2019) in poor substrates intended for insect rearing is needed before…”
• Risk profile related to production and consumption of insects as food and feed (2015, methodology): “The presence of mycotoxins in insects (house fly, blue bottle, blow fly and black soldier fly) farmed using various production methods at different geographical locations has been investigated (Charlton et al., 2015).”
