Could your ice be making your customers ill?

Ice and a slice – not me!

When we are conducting our food safety audits we see lots of ice machines with a build-up of black mould inside the machines.

At best, this taints the taste of your customers drink.

At worst, your customers get sick. G&T and spot of gastroenteritis.

Keeping your ice machine clean and free from bacteria keeps your ice safe and your drinks tasting great.
