Well I didn’t know this and with there being a slush stand at Caister I feel it’s only right to share for guests to be aware of too 💛
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.
