Food Safety Authority of Ireland warns of glycerol risks in slush ice drinks for children under 10.
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland warns parents about the potential dangers of children consuming slush ice drinks containing glycerol. Children under four should avoid them entirely, while those aged 5-10 should have no more than one per day. Glycerol is an EU-approved additive used to lower sugar content and create a slushy texture, generally not harmful, but poses risks for young kids when consumed in large quantities.
