Default Supermarket chiller packs that don't freeze

What liquid are they using and do ice packs have any use once the frozen
food has been delivered? Seems a shame to throw them away.

Most obvious use would be as ice packs. We used to get them with frozen
raw pet food, far more than I would ever normally want for domestic use
(might I suppose be useful if organising a large barbecue at a remote
site). I used to think they were the wrong sort of thing to go into
landfill, after removing the packaging the contents can be flushed down
the drain. (I'm sure they are non-toxic, otherwise they would not be
used with foodstuffs).

Havn't seen them for a while, all we have had recently has been dry ice
packets, but these are just empty polythene bags by the time they arrive.
