Slush syrups & mixers

For children’s slush, choose syrups labelled glycerol-free and made with sugar: the Food Standards Agency advises that children under seven should not have slush drinks containing glycerol (E422). Read our safety guide.

Glycerol-free slush syrup

The kind to buy for children’s slush: sugar-based, with no glycerol (E422). Check the label every time — brands change recipes.

Look for

  • “Glycerol-free” on the label and no E422 in the ingredients
  • Sugars per 100 ml high enough that the diluted drink stays above 4%
  • Avoid “zero” or “reduced sugar” syrups for machine slush

Look for

  • Check the sugar per 100 ml once diluted
  • Check for glycerol if children will drink it

Coffee syrups

Flavour and sugar in one for frappés. Sugar-free versions won’t help a slush freeze.

Look for

  • A full-sugar syrup for slush machines
