Consumer zone
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!
NOT ALL ICE IS THE SAME

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. The samples have more bacteria than the water found in toilets. Daily Mail was one of the news websites publishing this hideous information
