Kind of arbitrarily stupid lol.

Only 10 insect species are approved as food ingredients in South Korea, including grasshoppers, mealworms and silkworm pupae.

Other places allow ants as an ingredient, just not South Korea, while they allow other insects to be used as food.

    tests that found heavy metals above permitted levels in the ants.

    That seems like the bigger issue tbh
