A South Korean owner of a Michelin-rated restaurant could serve up to one year in jail after courts ruled that incorporating black ants to a sorbet breached food safety laws. The decision focused on using the insects to boost flavour. The court found the practice broke the rules despite its unusual use as a garnish. Legal sources confirmed the restaurant owner is appealing the verdict.
