ABOUT THE ASSOCIATION
Association of producers and operators of certified food ice is an organisation whose aim is to draw attention to the lack of the standards for the production of packed ice cubes in Poland. Following more conscious societies, we have set ourselves the goal of initiating and taking an active part in the creation of regulations for the production of ice cubes. Bearing in mind that ICE IS FOOD , we would like to provide accurate information on the risks that each of us may face when consuming ice if it has been contaminated. We put the safety of the consumer first and strive to ensure that the ice cube manufacturers change their attitude towards ice production. To address the problem, we have created a label to indicate the highest quality of the product so that the consumer knows that they are choosing a safe product. The right to use the label will be granted to all ice cube manufacturers who meet the relevant criteria. For details, see the other sections of the website.

The dirty truth about ice cubes
Ask yourself the question, how clean is the ice in your glass? If you are not careful, your drink has a lot of dangerous bacteria, no matter where the ice was made, whether in a pub, restaurant, ice factory, or your own home. You may think that micro-organisms do not survive in the icy conditions of freezers, but the truth is quite different and this is backed up by years of research by scientists around the world freezing bacteria and studying their survival rates.
Bacteria in food and the risks they pose
The human body is made up of a number of interconnected systems and the malfunctioning of one system can affect the others. You should follow the good habits in your lifestyle to protect your body from contact with potentially dangerous micro-organisms, including bacteria.
Ice is like water from toilets
Recent years have brought a lot of reports about ice produced by ice cube machines in bars and restaurants and home ice makers. The results of the samples are chilling.
