Choking Hazard: Sticky & Chewy Foods
Sticky or chewy foods such as nut butters, glutinous rice cakes (mochi, tteok, zongzi), konjac and fish balls can block a small airway. Thin nut butters or spread them thinly, cut rice cakes, konjac and fish balls into very small pieces, and always serve seated and supervised.
