A South Korean owner of a top-tier restaurant could serve a maximum of one year in jail after courts ruled that adding black ants to a sorbet violated food safety laws. The decision centred on using the insects to boost flavour. The court found the practice ran afoul of the code despite its unusual use as a garnish. Legal sources confirmed the restaurant owner is contesting the verdict.
