Something really important to bear in mind when at events with little ones.
We have a sign bigger then the prices to say not suitable for Under 4โs. Itโs just not worth the risk no matter how small.
Also no offers of unlimited refills at a higher price.
We want people to enjoy a slush safely.
With the summer holidays now in full swing, we are reminding parents and businesses about the guidance on glycerol in slush-ice drinks.
Slush-ice drinks should not be sold to children four years of age and under and free refill promotions should not be offered to under-10s.
This is to prevent young children from being exposed to excessive amounts of glycerol, which is used as a substitute for sugar to create the slush effect in these drinks.
