Parents across Ireland have been issued a warning after a range of popular children’s drinks were pulled from shelves<\/a> over health fears.<\/p>\n The precautionary recall affects several slushy drinks, with various batches now being pulled from sale amid concerns they could cause worrying side effects.<\/p>\n The Food Safety Authority of Ireland<\/a> (FSAI) issued the alert on Friday for various SLUSH PUPPiE products due to elevated levels of glycerol.<\/p>\n Glycerol is an approved food additive commonly used in slushy drinks. While generally considered safe, experts have warned that young children consuming large amounts in a short period could experience side effects<\/a>, including headaches, nausea and vomiting.<\/p>\n The FSAI explained: “The implicated batches of SLUSH PUPPiE products listed below are subject to recall as they contain high levels of glycerol.<\/p>\n “Glycerol (E 422) is an approved food additive in the European Union (EU). It is used in slush ice drinks as a substitute or partial substitute for sugar and helps maintain the slushy texture by preventing the liquid from freezing solid.<\/p>\n “There is no maximum level set for its use in flavoured drinks, however, according to legislation, it must be used in foods at a level not higher than is necessary, to achieve its intended purpose.<\/p>\n “Because young children have a lower body weight, if they consume large quantities of glycerol in a short period of time, it is possible that some young children may experience side effects, such as headaches, nausea and\/or vomiting.<\/p>\n The recall affects the following products:<\/p>\n Retailers have been requested to remove the implicated batches from sale and display recall notices at point-of-sale, while consumers are advised not to eat the implicated batches.<\/p>\n Wholesalers\/distributors are also requested to contact their affected customers and recall the implicated batches and provide a point-of-sale recall notice to their retailer customers.<\/p>\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/0_slushie.png\")
