The quality and safety of the packaged ice product produced by members of the International Packaged Ice Association is of utmost priority for the protection of the consumer. IPIA members chose to adhere to strict sanitation standards as defined in our PIQCS (Packaged Ice Quality Control Standards) program. These standards are verified annually in all IPIA member plants by NSF, the National Sanitation Foundation, world-wide leader in food safety solutions and monitoring. These standards are FSMA (Food Safety Modernization Act) Compliant.
In the packaged ice industry there are three main compliance standards:
• Packaged Ice Quality Control Standards (PIQCS)
• Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA)
• Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP)
Modern Ice offers our Hopper Cover and ATP Testing Device to assist you with your food safety compliance plans:
Our Modern Ice Engineering Team has developed a solution for you. The new Modern Ice Bagger Hopper Cover will fully enclose the Hopper to eliminate ice spillage as well as prevents potential contamination or employee injuries from handling of ice in the Hopper.
Modern Ice recognized the need for a simple and economical monitoring system to easily and reliably test and document the effectiveness of ice plant sanitation procedures.
