I saw this on Dateline a few weeks ago. Its really quite scary to think that ice can make you sick.
You can watch the video of the show on the right-hand sidebar of the article:
Are food-handlers taking the same precautions with ice?
Health officials traced a gastrointestinal illness to coolers containing drinking water for the golfers.
Wow.. That’s scary stuff. I was eating at Freebirds the other day and noticed that one of the employees drop the ice scooper on the floor and then just toss it back into the ice machine.
That video makes me want to ask for everything without ice.. Even the self server machine was contaminated.
