Does K Freeze contain glycerol?
At Circle K, we prioritise the safety and well-being of our customers. We want to make customers aware that some of our K Freeze drinks range contain glycerol. Glycerol is a widely used and approved food additive. The European Food Safety Authority has previously confirmed its safe for use in food products.
As a responsible retailer and as a precaution, we are displaying some important information in relation to our K Freeze product range at our points of sale which outline that this product contains glycerol and is not recommended for children aged 4 years and under.
This information is in line with the recent updated guidance from the Food Safety Authority of Ireland.
