Résumé

In a statewide survey, ice samples purchased at retail were evaluated for labelling information and microbiological, chemical, and physical quality. Only 11% of bags from on-premises manual facilities, compared to 79% for off-premises mechanical facilities, had appropriate label information. One ice sample exceeded the state regulatory limit for aerobic plate count (APC) (lower than 500 CFU/milliliter). Yeasts and molds were detected in 12% of the samples. No Listeria monocytogenes were found in any of the samples. Coliform counts exceeding the state regulatory limit (lower than 1/100 ml) were observed in 13.5% of manual, on-premises facilities compared to 3.6% of samples from mechanical, off-premises facilities. No significant differences were detected between samples from on- and off-premises facilities with regard to chemical composition.
