首尔米其林二星餐厅Evett因违反韩国食品安全法，在甜点上添加未获批准的食材蚂蚁而被处以罚款1。首尔西部地方法院判罚餐厅运营方1000万韩元，首席执行官1500万韩元1。检察官此前曾要求对首席执行官判处一年监禁及罚款2000万韩元，但法院认可被告认罪并考虑多项情节因素从轻处罚1。
该餐厅自2021年4月起开始进口干蚂蚁作为甜点装饰，直至2025年1月才停止使用1。在这近四年间，餐厅估计向约12274名顾客提供过这款甜点，共使用蚂蚁49096只，相关销售收入约1.2亿韩元1。检测结果显示，使用的蚂蚁中重金属含量超过允许水平1。韩国目前仅批准10种昆虫作为食材，蚂蚁并未在其中1。双方有七天的上诉期限1。
Evett, a two-Michelin-starred restaurant in Seoul, has been fined for serving unapproved food ingredients in violation of South Korean food safety regulations.1 The restaurant's operator was ordered to pay 10 million won, while its chief executive officer was fined 15 million won.1 The court acknowledged the defendants' guilty plea but imposed reduced penalties after considering mitigating circumstances.1
The restaurant had imported dried ants since April 2021 and continued using them in desserts until January 2025.1 During this period, approximately 12,274 customers were served the ant-topped dessert, which generated roughly 120 million won in revenue and used an estimated 49,096 ants.1 Prosecutors had initially sought a one-year prison sentence and a 20 million won fine for the chief executive officer.1 The investigation discovered that heavy metal levels in the ants exceeded permissible thresholds.1 South Korea officially approves only ten insect species for use as food ingredients, and ants are not among them.1 Both defendants have seven days to appeal the ruling.1
