Welcome to the only Polish website devoted entirely to the safety of consuming ice cubes. We have been made aware of the dangers of improper handling of meat, fruit and vegetables, frozen products, fish, and seafood, but no one has ever discussed it in relation to ice cubes, a product that is so simple, so clear, and so frequently used! This is to help you make a safe and informed choice about ice.
We pay more and more attention to a healthy lifestyle and a proper diet and analyse in detail product labels. However, when it comes to ice, we do not perceive it as a possible danger as it is just frozen water so everything has been frozen and will no longer be harmful. Nothing could be further from the truth! If not handled properly at every stage, ice can be just as insidious as the products specified above. Regardless of how the icemaking process was carried out, it can potentially become a source of infection for the body, which will be unpleasant to you. This is because the quality of the final product is determined, among others, by such factors as the quality of the raw material (water), the production equipment, transport, storage conditions and, above all, adherence to basic hygiene principles throughout the process.

Ice cubes, no matter what colour or shape they are, are FOOD!

The reason that lies behind the creation of this website is to draw attention to this specific issue. We will provide you with a compendium of knowledge about ice cubes available in supermarkets, petrol stations, corner stores, and catering outlets. We will also look at packed ice cubes and compare them to those made at home. You will learn about what impact the wrong choice of ice can have on our health and why it is worth choosing a product from a certified manufacturer. And all this because

What are the main differences between industrially produced and home-made ice, explains Piotr Lewiński, food technologist.
Retail ice cubes
We are in the third decade of the 21st century now, but just a few years ago none of us would have thought that ice cubes would be an indispensable product for cooling drinks on hot days and that they would be available in every grocery shop or petrol station.
