The TGA has fined celebrity chef Pete Evans more than $25,000 for spruiking a machine that transmits pulsed waves of energy to help his followers fend off coronavirus.

The BioCharger NG, described as looking like a colourful food processor, made headlines earlier this month after Mr Evans posted a video on his Facebook page promoting the “hybrid subtle energy revitalisation platform” to his 1.4 million followers.
