2-year-old Arla Agnew experienced hypoglycemic shock after consuming a Slush Puppie, prompting concerns over glycerol content in children's products.

2-year-old Arla Agnew nearly died after consuming a Slush Puppie at a friend's birthday party. The toddler's blood sugar levels dropped dangerously low, leading to hypoglycemic shock, which was attributed to the glycerol content in the drink. Arla's family has urged parents and caregivers to be cautious about the glycerol content in children's products, as large quantities can have serious consequences, including shock, hypoglycemia, and loss of consciousness. Food Standards Scotland has recommended that children under four should not consume Slush Puppies or similar products.
