Our Commitment to Safety: IPIA Certified

  • ✅ What Does IPIA Certification Mean?

    The IPIA seal isn’t just a badge — it’s a guarantee of purity, safety, and quality. As an IPIA-certified manufacturer, Gainesville Ice meets or exceeds all industry standards for:

    Water Source Integrity
    Ice is made only from sources tested and approved for human consumption.

    Sanitation & Hygiene Protocols
    All equipment and facilities are cleaned, maintained, and monitored under strict schedules.

    Employee Safety Training
    Our team is trained in food safety, handling, and contamination prevention.

    Packaging & Storage
    Ice is packaged in sanitary, food-grade bags and stored at optimal temperatures until delivery.

  • 🧊 Why It Matters to You

    Whether you're buying bagged ice for a convenience store, restaurant, special event, or co-packing program — you deserve to know it’s safe. IPIA-certified ice:

    Contains no harmful contaminants

    Is free from re-freezing or unsafe handling practices

    Is routinely audited by third-party inspectors

    Is traceable and produced under documented processes

  • 🔍 How to Check for Certified Ice

    Look for the IPIA seal on our bags — your assurance that you're getting ice made with the highest standards in the industry. If it’s not sealed, it’s not safe.

    “Ice is food.” — That’s the IPIA standard, and it’s one we proudly live by every day.
