Contaminated ice is a frequent finding on food sanitation inspection reports and has been associated with numerous foodborne disease outbreaks. Ice is a food or food ingredient and is also used for cold food display, for chilling packaged food and drinks, and to rapidly chill cooked foods.
Thorough ice machine cleaning is often put off creating one more thing to worry about and the superficial scheduled ice bin cleaning is not enough if you are not targeting the source of the problem. Cleaning ice machines correctly is time consuming and requires a great deal more than a quick wipe down. Biofilm, slime, mold and lime buildup can accumulate and go undetected. Contaminated ice is a serious health issue and mineral build up causes your ice machines to perform poorly and damages your machine by eating away the plastic coating. Most commercial ice machines are not cleaned properly or often enough.
