Frozen fruit and shop-made smoothies

Check recalls, cold storage, washing instructions and whether every juice or dairy ingredient is pasteurised.

Direct guidance

What to know or do

A made-to-order smoothie also depends on clean equipment and safe chilled ingredients. Avoid raw egg, unpasteurised juice and powders whose active ingredients are unclear.

What changes the answer

  • Whether every ingredient is pasteurised or cooked through
  • How the food was chilled, stored, handled and reheated
  • The exact species, product label, recall or contamination warning

When to get individual help

Check the exact item or situation with a doctor, midwife, pharmacist or relevant clinician; the name of a broad category is not enough for a personal decision.
