22 March, 2022

Description

ICE is FOOD. Learn best practices for ice safety when using a commercial ice machine and how to optimize it for peak performance. ICE is Food. Often neglected in commercial foodservice establishments, ice contamination is a serious health concern, so much so that the FDA has classified packaged ice when sold as food. Even if the ice is not packaged but used in a bar or restaurant, customers ingest it! If not properly maintained, mold, mildew, and slime contamination can quickly build up in commercial ice machines on surfaces in direct contact with ice. In addition, ice scoops or other utensils used to fill drink glasses can cause cross-contamination of the entire ice storage bin. Our Foodservice Industry Expert with 30+ years of commercial ice machine experience will teach proper ice machine cleaning and maintenance. In addition, they will review best practices for ice safety while operating ice machines and provide insider tips for getting the best performance from your commercial ice machine.
