Carousell, a popular online marketplace, has removed listings for Trader Joe’s “Everything But The Bagel” seasoning blend. The removal stems from the product’s inclusion of poppy seeds, which are prohibited under the platform’s policies—and in some jurisdictions, by law. While commonly used as a seasoning, poppy seeds are regulated due to their potential association with illicit drug production. Carousell proactively monitors and removes listings that violate these restrictions to ensure compliance. This decision impacts sellers who had been utilizing the platform to resell the popular seasoning. The ban highlights the complexities of online commerce and the need to adhere to specific regulations regarding everyday items. Carousell has not specified the duration of the ban but confirms it will continue to enforce its policies regarding poppy seeds.
