Children under four should not be given slushie-style drinks, according to new guidelines
.
The Food Standards Agency , which protects public health in relation to food in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and Food Standards Scotland are also advising retailers not to offer free refill promotions to under-10s. The updated industry guidance follows a risk assessment which found that children under the age of four could suffer from headaches and sickness caused by exposure to glycerol.
Glycerol is a liquid which prevents drinks from freezing solid, and which helps slushies maintain their"slush" properties. Slushies are made from tiny particles of flavoured ice that retain a liquid quality that allow them to be drunk.
