HKThe owner of a Michelin-starred restaurant in South Korea is facing up to one year in jail for allegedly adding black ants to a sorbet dish, violating food safety laws. Prosecutors argued that the practice violates regulations, as only 10 specific insect species are permitted for human consumption in South Korea. The restaurant, which holds two Michelin stars, is accused of using ants imported from Thailand and the U.S., despite the legal restrictions. Authorities began investigating the incident last year after claims that the chef used three to five ants on top of a sorbet to enhance flavor.
