It’s looking hot this bank holiday weekend! If the sun’s out where you are, slushies might be on the agenda ☀️

But it’s worth knowing that some slush drinks contain glycerol (E422), which helps create that icy texture. Younger children can be more sensitive to it, so:
⚠️ Under 7s should avoid slush drinks containing glycerol
🥤 Children aged 7–10 should have no more than one 350ml drink a day.

If you're not sure whether a slush contains glycerol, ask the seller or check the label – and if you can't find out, it's best to choose something else.

Do you wash fruit and veg before eating it? 🥦

It’s good practice to wash fruit and vegetables before eating them – it helps remove dirt and bacteria that could make you unwell.

A few simple steps to keep in mind:

Rinse produce thoroughly before eating or cooking

Keep unwashed produce separate from ready-to-eat foods to avoid cross-contamination.

Use separate chopping boards and utensils for raw and cooked foods where possible.
