Advocacy

Not all packaged ice is the same...but it should be.

​The International Packaged Ice Association works to promote superior food safety practices for the packaged ice industry through the ongoing development and management of high industry standards. As the largest industry association in the world, we are fortunate to have the unique position of advocating for the packaged ice industry and having our collective voices heard. 


We report on all legislation directly and indirectly impacting the packaged ice industry. Members are kept abreast of legislative issues including packaging, labeling, sanitation and sales taxes. Knowing about legislation before it is enacted allows members to be proactive to proposals that affect business. The association also joins with other associations on proposed legislation that affect more than the packaged ice industry alone, giving added weight to our voice.

Representing over half of the wholesale ice produced in North America, our members play a key role in promoting consumer safety and safe ice, championing for tighter regulations on packaged ice at both the state and federal level.

​We encourage packaged ice manufacturers to contact their local legislators to advocate for food safety standards for all packaged ice production. If you’d like to help us in your state, contact us for information and supporting documentation. 
 Visit www.safeice.org to find out more about what the IPIA stands for, why having regulations on packaged ice is important, and how unaccredited ice can pose dangers for consumers.
