jelly_cubes
Raw jelly cubes - the concentrated blocks you dissolve to make jelly - are a specific choking hazard named in official guidance. They are firm, slippery and just the right size to lodge in a small airway, and they swell as they absorb moisture.
Zo serveer je het
Never give raw jelly cubes.
Made-up jelly, fully dissolved and set, is not a choking hazard in the same way, but it is still mostly sugar - keep it occasional. Children under 2 should have no added sugar.
Voedingswaarde
Sugar and gelatine, with no meaningful nutritional value.
Goed om te weten
Never give raw jelly cubes to a child, and keep the packet out of reach.
Raw jelly cubes are a choking hazard for babies and young children and should never be given or left within reach. Set jelly is safer but is still added sugar.
Tip
Keep the packet out of reach while you are cooking. Most incidents happen when a child picks a cube off the counter, not when they are served one.
