Arla was hooked up to wires and an IV tube at the hospital to stabilise her condition before she was blue-lighted to Dumfries and Galloway Hospital for further treatment.
A toddler was left "20 minutes from death" after drinking a Slush Puppie after at her pal's birthday party.
Stacey, 39, rushed her granddaughter to Galloway Community Hospital on July 27, where medics discovered she was in hypoglycemic shock. Arla's blood sugar levels were dangerously low and Stacey said she was told the drink had caused the issue after talking with the hospital's paediatric team. The Food Standards Agency has stated that manufacturers should carry a warning on their products since August 2023, but Stacey claims Arla's friend's mum only bought the product from B&M in July this year.Stacey now wants other families to know the risks of Glycerol, without having to relying on product guidance.
"Although glycerol is generally of low toxicity, there are concerns about its effect on young children when large quantities are consumed over a short time. While glycerol is found in some other foods, it is added in much lower quantities than in slush ice drinks.
