Ban slush drinks containing glycerol from entertainment venues for children

Petition Details

Following a risk assessment by the Food and Standards Agency, we believe slush drinks containing glycerol should be banned from being sold at children’s entertainment facilities such as soft play, trampoline parks, theme parks and other children’s venues.

Additional Information

Glycerol is an ingredient in slush drinks and the FSA has identified that excessive amounts of glycerol can cause headaches and sickness, and there have been cases where children have been hospitalised because of "glycerol intoxication". The FSA has advised that slush drinks containing glycerol should not be sold to children four years of age and under. They also advised that retailers should not offer free refill promotions to under-10s. I would like these drinks to be banned from sale at children’s entertainment venues including soft play, trampoline parks, theme parks and other kids venues.
