A 16-year-old boy in Tokyo is in legal trouble after pulling a gross prank at a conveyor belt sushi restaurant—placing a condom on a plate meant for other diners. This is the latest in a string of viral "sushi terrorism" stunts in Japan, where social media antics are freaking out customers and damaging restaurant chains' reputations.

Editor’s Note: These stunts aren’t just juvenile—they’re hurting businesses and making people wary of eating out. Japan’s conveyor belt sushi chains, already struggling with rising costs, now have to deal with pranksters ruining trust in their hygiene. It’s a weird, unsettling trend with real consequences.

Canada's meat industry is sounding the alarm about a proposed internal trade bill, arguing it could weaken food safety standards. The Canadian Meat Council warns the legislation might force the federal government to treat provincial meat inspection rules as equivalent to national standards—even if they're not as rigorous.

Editor’s Note: If provincial inspections aren't held to the same strict federal benchmarks, it could create inconsistencies in food safety and even hurt Canada's reputation as a reliable meat exporter. This isn't just about red tape—it could impact what ends up on dinner plates here and abroad.
