They ask for jail for serving a sorbet with ants in a two-star Michelin restaurant in South Korea

El propietario de un restaurante con dos estrellas Michelin en Corea del Sur enfrenta una demanda penal tras ser acusado de decorar un sorbete con hormigas negras para darle un sabor agrio. La fiscalía de Seúl sostiene que esta acción viola las normas de seguridad alimentaria, ya que solo diez especies de insectos están autorizadas para el consumo humano, incluyendo saltamontes y larvas de gusano de la harina. El caso plantea cuestiones sobre la regulación de ingredientes exóticos en la gastronomía coreana y su aceptación cultural.
