NSW Health put out a warning on November 26, suggesting that the drug - commonly known as 'purp' - was potentially being distributed in both metropolitan and regional parts of the state.
Anyone who may come into contact with the drug, or who suspects they have seen it, is warned not to touch it under any circumstances. NSW Health stated that accidental exposure to powdered fentanyl can have serious health consequences.
The Wagga Liquor Accord has drug handling procedures in place and are advised to follow protocol.
