South Korea’s Ministry of Food and Drug Safety used X (Twitter) to encourage people to stop eating fried toothpicks by mimicking TikTok influencers. In this respect reports Dexterto edition.
In South Korea, toothpicks are made from sweet potato or corn starch, not wood. If you deep fry them, they will swell and become spongy, like popcorn. Videos of bloggers preparing toothpicks and eating them as snacks began to go viral on TikTok.
South Korea’s Ministry of Food and Drug Safety urged people not to repeat the experiment because it could be harmful to health. The fact is that toothpicks are hygiene products and their production is not controlled in accordance with food production standards.
For example, starch toothpicks, as well as starch and food coloring, contain sorbitol. People who consume high doses of sorbitol may experience vomiting, diarrhea, and other gastrointestinal problems.
