ICE IS FOOD
It’s ingested, just like food. Problem is, legislation doesn’t reflect this fact. And the laws that do, often go overlooked. The end result? People get sick and die.
 
At IPIA, our mission is to help protect consumers by passing and enforcing sanitation laws for packaged ice. Contact us now to effect change: info@packagedice.com.

THE SCIENCE PROVES IT
​Over the years, academic studies have documented dozens of foodborne illness outbreaks caused by contaminated ice. Ice produced and bagged at retail locations, such as convenience stores, liquor stores, fast-food restaurants, and self-serve machines, often exceeds acceptable levels of bacteria. For consumers, this continues to trigger serious illness and even death.
