The only way to completely protect your family against this risk of contaminated ice is to make sure you are buying packaged ice manufactured by a member of the IPIA. Consumers can look for the IPIA logo when purchasing packaged ice in member branded packaging and a growing number of retail private label packaging.
IPIA packaged ice is the gold standard for any consumption or cooling needs. Not only is our ice never touched by human hands, it is manufactured to strict sanitation standards and is lab tested. Look for the IPIA Seal of Approval to ensure the ice you are buying is safe to consume. |

Recent research results underscore the safety of IPIA packaged ice. The latest and most comprehensive study to ever look at the safety of packaged ice has been published in California. The study compared packaged ice produced by members of the International Packaged Ice Association to those who manufacture ice without the industry-leading IPIA standards. This study definitively shows that consumers are at risk due to the amount of packaged ice produced by non-IPIA retailers in California that was found to have unsatisfactory levels of contamination.
