MICROBIAL QUALITY OF ICE CUBES: A SURVEY

Abstract

A survey of licensed premises in Leeds was carried out during 1986. The quality of ice was investigated and survey sheets were completed. Hygienic practices were found to be poor and contamination of the ice was found to have occurred, largely due to staff not following manufacturers' instructions in the use of ice‐making machines, and to handling the ice as opposed to using a utensil. A wider study is recommended.
