Because the self-protection mechanism of children's bodies is not fully developed, the physical function of the elderly has declined, so children under three years old or the elderly will have hidden dangers of entering the trachea or bronchus when taking jelly.
It is suggested that children under the age of three must eat under the guidance of their guardians. School-age children and the elderly eat with small spoons and chew slowly. In addition, jelly can give people a sense of fullness, and children and teenagers who eat too much at a time may affect their normal diet, so they should eat it in moderation.

The thickener in jelly is a safe food additive.
Thickeners can increase the viscosity of food or form gel, giving jelly a unique taste. Thickeners commonly used in jelly production include carrageenan and konjac flour, both of which are natural polysaccharides. Therefore, the rational use of thickener in jelly according to relevant standards is not only safe, but also has the functions of improving intestinal microecology and relaxing bowels. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the safety of thickener for jelly with guaranteed quality.
