Police
On Monday, 26 August 2024, Fair Trading investigators confiscated over 11,300 mini jelly cups containing konjac from three retail locations in western Sydney. Konjac, a banned food additive in Australia for over two decades, poses a serious choking hazard and has been illegal to sell or import since the early 2000s.
The enforcement action followed a customer report at a Banksmeadow store. Authorities discovered a large shipment had been imported and distributed across multiple locations. All seized products have been destroyed.
Fair Trading NSW is urging consumers who may have purchased konjac jelly cups from any retailer to dispose of them immediately and not consume the product. Anyone who has information about the sale or distribution of banned konjac products is encouraged to report it to Fair Trading NSW on 13 77 20 or via the online report form at fairtrading.nsw.gov.au.
