Food maker pulls konnyaku jelly

MannanLife Co., Japan's largest maker of konnyaku (devil's tongue) jelly, said it halted production and shipment of all products Oct. 8.

The move followed a recent report that a total of 17 children and elderly people have choked to death on konnyaku jelly since 1995.

In the most recent case, a 1-year-old boy in Hyogo Prefecture died in late September while eating the jelly. (The Japan Times)
