Chef Served Ant Sorbet, Now Facing Jail | Australia News
Description
A Michelin-starred Korean chef faces jail time and a hefty fine after serving ant-topped sorbet—imported from the US and Thailand—despite South Korea’s strict food laws banning ants as edible insects. Prosecutors argue the dish was served 12,000 times over four years, using nearly 50,000 ants, with tests revealing dangerously high heavy metal levels. The chef claims he didn’t realize Korean regulations differed from abroad, but the court’s verdict is set for September 2nd.
