                                According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), some konjac candies have been linked to choking incidents, highlighting the gel-forming risks associated with this plant's key fiber, glucomannan. Similarly, when consumed in capsule form, konjac can cause a range of side effects, primarily affecting the digestive system.
