Quality

Premium quality starts with a focus on health and safety.

Ice, everyone may know the recipe but the processes to mass produce, satisfy market demands and produce quality, safe for consumers ice is much more complex. Getting those components right is the proverbial secret sauce of packaged ice products. Whether for our own valued employees, the customers we’re so fortunate to serve, or a consumer enjoying our ice, delivering health and safety is unquestionably the first priority at Arctic Glacier®.

Ice is Food

Consumers and retailers alike are often surprised to learn the FDA considers packaged ice a food product. As a food product, packaged ice must comply with federally mandated sanitary and hygienic practices to be safe for consumers. Now, more than ever, consumers are demanding transparency into the safety and quality of products they purchase, especially food. However, achieving compliance with regulatory agencies can be a daunting, expensive process.
