Are Slush Ice Drinks Dangerous?; Unicate Talks

Welcome to Unicate College's Official Youtube Channel! Unicate College gives a special Thank You to Scientist Dr Alando Watkis RSci, and Fellow of the Royal Society of Public Health for his academic contributions to the podcast. Slush drinks may look like harmless summer treats — but are they safe for children? The UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) has issued new warnings about glycerol, an ingredient commonly used in slushies to stop them freezing solid. In this episode of Unicate Talks, we uncover the hidden risks of slush drinks. We’ll explain what glycerol is, why the FSA now says children under 7 years old should avoid it, and why kids aged 7–10 should be limited to just one slushie a day. With recent hospitalisations linked to high glycerol intake, this episode explores the science, the data, and what parents need to know. At Unicate College, we believe in bringing evidence-based food science into everyday life — helping families make safer and healthier choices.
