But don't worry, they are starved for 24 hours before slaughter to ensure they are empty of poo!

Is this just an rt.com scam? They do have form for false information - and especially now EU tanks are on their way to the Ukraine.

The underlying regulation goes back to 2015 - and the info specific to the cricket is published on official EU site:
Safety of frozen and dried formulations from whole house crickets (Acheta domesticus) as a Novel food pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283

Yes, RT can be suspect - but they cited the 24th January start date.
