Join Liam Jones, founder of Pilla and a qualified food safety consultant, for a session on bar areas food safety.
Using a glass to scoop ice risks glass breakage inside the ice machine, contaminating the entire ice supply. A dedicated ice scoop must be used and stored outside the machine, cleaned several times daily.
Ice machines create consistently moist environments where biofilm can develop on interior surfaces. Regular deep cleaning with manufacturer-recommended products is essential to prevent bacterial contamination of ice.
Dispense nozzles and flaps accumulate biofilm from constant moisture. These must be cleaned daily and the connectors sanitised regularly. Sticky residue around nozzles is a visible sign of bacterial growth.
Ice used to chill bottles in an ice bath is contaminated by the exterior of those bottles and the surrounding environment. It must never be used in drinks. Only ice from the dedicated ice machine should go into customer drinks.
