About us
The International Packaged Ice Association represents packaged ice producers, distributors and suppliers to the industry worldwide. IPIA members are required and dedicated to meeting our trademarked Packaged Ice Quality Control Standards (PIQCS) and have these sanitation standards verified by an NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) auditor annually. The PIQCS standards include specific Good Manufacturing Practices, Process Control, Recall, Pest Control, Food Security, Finished Product Microbiological testing and HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points). Our member producers take seriously that ICE IS A FOOD and follow these strict food safety standards to ensure the quality of packaged ice purchased whether for cooling or consumption is safe. The trademarked IPIA Logo as seen on ice packaging is the assurance of the high quality product inside. Ice is Food!

"The ever-changing DOT rules and regulations continue to leave many of us trying to determine what is fact or fiction. It seems every time one rule is implemented another is on the horizon, making it difficult for us to keep our distribution operations compliant. With FMCSA rules constantly changing, and now the introduction of the Clearinghouse, we all want to make sure we do not find ourselves with the authorities showing up to audit your business."

Just because your icemaker LOOKS clean on the outside doesn't mean it is!

Always #LookForTheLabel on your bags of packaged ice for the assurance of safe, clean ice that is free from mold, bacteria, and other pathogens. https://lnkd.in/eQ-GaGRG
