Important Information About Glycerol in Slush Ice Drinks

Dear Customers,

We would like to share important industry updates regarding the use of glycerol (E422) in slush ice drinks. Recent research and new industry guidance have raised concerns about the effects of glycerol on young children, particularly when consumed in large quantities over a short period.

Key Findings & Recommendations:

???? Children under 8 years old should limit their consumption of slushies due to potential health risks associated with glycerol. (Source: Sky News)
???? Children aged 4 and under should not consume slush ice drinks containing glycerol. (Source: Food Standards Scotland)
???? Glycerol is commonly added to slush drinks to prevent the liquid from freezing solid, but excessive intake can cause adverse effects in young children.
???? The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has issued new voluntary guidelines advising retailers:

• Not to sell slush drinks to children under 4 years old.

• Not to offer free refill promotions to children under 10 years old to prevent excessive glycerol consumption. (Source: Food.gov.uk)
