Choking hazard posed by mini cup jelly products

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is advising consumers to be cautious about a possible choking hazard associated with various brands and flavours of imported mini-cup jelly products containing konjac.

"If consumed as a single-bite, these products may cause choking, particularly for those at higher risk including infants, young children, the elderly, and people with swallowing difficulties. Depending upon the size, shape and consistency, mini-cup jelly products may become lodged in the throat and difficult to remove. To be safe, break the jelly into smaller bites prior to eating".

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is warning the public not to consume assorted flavours of Three Fish brand Bidrico coconut/fruit jelly with Konjac powder, a mini cup dessert described below, as it poses a choking hazard.
