If you think that your ice cubes are always safe, think again. A common misconception is that ice is too cold to harbor bacteria. Unfortunately, there are types of bacteria that can survive in ice cubes.
Most businesses with ice machines may start out with good intentions but fall later regarding cleaning and maintenance, so pay attention to the cleanliness when you eat at a restaurant.
Regardless of the cleanliness, chemicals used in the water treatment process can also find their way into your ice cubes. This can be avoided by making your ice cubes with pure water. If you have an automatic ice maker, you can take steps to protect your family with regular and proper cleaning.
Most ice bins are safe for dishwasher use, so make a habit of running your bin through the dishwasher regularly.
