Ensure Your Ice Is Safe and Clean
When the temperature rises, so does the demand for ice to cool our drinks and keep food fresh. From backyard barbecues to park picnics, clean and safe ice is a must. You might assume that all ice is the same, but contaminated ice can pose serious health risks to you and your family.
Recent reports have highlighted that some ice from fast-food outlets may be dirtier than toilet water. Whether processed in a moldy machine, handled with dirty tools, or scooped with unclean hands, it’s hard to know the quality of the ice you're consuming.
Here’s how to ensure the ice you buy is clean and safe:
- Check the Clarity: Ice should be clear, odorless, and tasteless.
- Inspect the Packaging: The bag should be sealed and secure, with no foreign objects inside.
- Verify the Source: Look for the manufacturer's name, address, and phone number on the package.
- Look for a Product Code: This indicates traceability and quality control.
A Michigan State University study found that consumers are increasingly concerned about food safety, with 63% expressing significant concern and nearly half avoiding foods they consider unsafe.
This summer, the International Packaged Ice Association (IPIA) emphasizes that not all ice is created equal. They advise consumers to be selective when purchasing packaged ice. Look for products packaged by certified IPIA members, identifiable by the IPIA seal. This seal ensures the ice meets the association's rigorous quality and safety standards.
IPIA’s Packaged Ice Quality Control Standards (PIQCS) cover personal hygiene of employees, sanitation of facilities, and quality assurance of water sources. These strict guidelines ensure the production of safe, high-quality ice.
By following these tips and selecting ice with the IPIA seal, you can enjoy safe and refreshing ice all summer long.
