Brazil Halts Four 'Edible' Glitter Brands After Tests Find Plastic

Overview

• Anvisa suspended products from Glitz, Jeni Joni, Iceberg Chef (Glitter Glow and Glitter Shine) and Jady Confeitos that were presented for use on cakes and sweets.
• The orders bar manufacturing, sale, distribution, advertising and use, and they require recall of items already distributed.
• Laboratory analyses confirmed plastic materials in all four brands, and some Jeni Joni items also listed an unidentified ingredient described as “metal de transição laminado atômico 99.”
• Major marketplaces including Mercado Livre, Amazon, Shopee and Magazine Luiza were told to remove ads and provide details on advertisers and manufacturers.
• Anvisa says it has identified 16 brands in this category, suspended four, and continues investigating the rest with further testing underway.
