Cold sensation given by the ice that makes throat feels fresh, especially coinciding with thirst are also attacked. However, do you know if the ice cubes that are things that are unpredictable?
According Dr.Pritish Tosh, infectious disease specialists and Martin Bucknavage, food safety experts from the Department of Food Science at Pennsylvania State University, there are three things that are often found in ice cubes.
1. Bacteria.
United States have legislation called the Safe Drinking Water Act since 1974 that guarantees the level of pathogens in drinking water under control. Although actually resident in the country are not overly concerned with drinking water standards, but still, the bacteria can be found in ice cubes.One source of the bacteria that is known is freezing ice machine not clean. Ice cubes that were in the restaurant is also more easily contaminated by bacteria, such as the touch of a hand that is not clean after processing the meat.
2. Fungus.
Fungus can be found everywhere, from the ice machine to the home refrigerator. The cold air from the freezer can make mold to grow, but if the ice machine is often turned off in a certain period of time, mold can grow."If the freezer or ice machine turned off for some time, then prior to use should be cleaned first," Bucknavage advice.
3. What's in the hands of.
If you touch the ice without washing hands before, then what is in your hands could move into ice cubes. Not only the time will prepare drinks, while taking the ice cubes from the refrigerator was your responsibility to ensure hand washed.In 2007, the Chicago Sun Times found 20 percent of the 49 restaurants and bars in Chicago have contaminated ice types of bacteria in the feces.
The type of bacteria that can be found in most of the ice cubes are harmless and can be combated by the body's immune system. But not a few people, especially children, who suffer from diarrhea as a result of contracting the disease from the bacteria in ice cubes.
Therefore, make sure the ice is consumed safely. If unsure, choose a cool drink taken from the refrigerator so you can get a fresh drink while not using ice cubes.
