Oh goodness, that would be terrible for the kids! Looks like food but definitely isn’t. Reminds me of the kids who would break open glow sticks and rub the contents on themselves, then wonder why they have little cuts. Most contain glass!

Oh gosh….I can imagine kids would think that looked yummy. Very scary

They do look very confusing for kids.

Don’t use these gel ones – they always were a worry to me.

I only ever used frozen ice blocks or frozen drinks, never liked the look of those gel ones

I have never use them.

Thanks for the warning. We definitely use hard ice blocks in our home for lunches

We always used the hard block ice packs rather than the gel packs. Thanks for sharing.

Freeze drink bottles instead is an option

You can get non toxic ones. I’m sure you still wouldn’t want your child to eat it though.

Thank you for this information.

I used to use an ice-brick in my kids lunch boxes. It actually came as part of the lunchbox and was the best concept ever

Good to show awareness of this

That’s where the good old frozen Zooper Dooper comes into play.

I’ve seen this before, luckily mi kids are older & I always use the block ones never these type

This is a good warning for parents of young children.

Good idea but maybe also educating the kids about what it is and what is food in the box also

Its good to make people aware as it would be easy for kids to get poisoned.

A good article to show awareness! Thanks!

Yes, I’ve heard of this problem – we use the hard type. Not sure what they’re technically called.
