Misuse & Safety Terms

The cream chargers that CreamSupply sells contain the gas nitrous oxide (N2O). Whilst non-flammable and commonly used in not only the catering industry but also in areas of the health sector, nitrous oxide has become a source for recreational use in recent years. The casual human consumption of what’s often known as “Laughing gas” can have serious side effects such as nausea, vomiting, excessive sweating and dizziness. Misuse of intaking N2O can even be fatal via asphyxiation, which is why CreamSupply is emphatically concerned in making sure that our customers understand that our products are to be sold for their intended purpose – to play a part in food preparation in a safe and responsible manner.

With particular reference to cream chargers, please handle them with care at all times – the N2O inside the canisters are greatly pressurized, so be sure not to pierce them, or dispose of them until they’ve been fully emptied safely. When not in use it is strongly advised to store the chargers and all other relevant equipment in a safe and temperature-controlled environment.
