Baocharm Participates in the Formation of New Food Ice Production and Operation Hygiene Standard

Recently, the China Food Industry Association has released the “Food Ice Production and Operation Hygiene Standard” (T/CNFIA 187—2024), a group standard. Shandong Baocheng Refrigeration Equipment Co.,Ltd, as one of the drafting units, has actively participated in the formulation of this standard.

 

This standard covers various types of food ice products, including edible ice that can be consumed directly, preservative ice that extends the shelf life of food, and food ice used in food processing and other related applications.

The document stipulates the product classification, basic requirements, site selection, environment, design layout, and internal structure materials of food ice. It also covers the hygiene management of facilities and equipment, raw materials, additives, and related products. Additionally, it includes standards for food safety control during the production process, ice packaging (e.g. ice block packaging machine, ice stick packing machines, ice lolly packing machine), inspection, ice storage and ice transportation (distribution), terminal sales, product recall, management systems, personnel training, record and document management, and more. These standards are applicable to the production, inspection, and sales of food ice.

Trends in Food Ice Development

To meet the diverse needs of different occasions and tastes, various shapes, sizes, and additives of edible ice products have emerged in the market. In the future, food ice is expected to develop towards healthier, more diverse, and environmentally friendly directions. This will enhance the dining experience, visual appeal, and preservation effect.

Regarding the issues of hygiene and safety related to food ice, the standardization of food industry production standards and the safe use of ice will play a guiding role in the healthy development of the food ice industry. The introduction of this standard demonstrates our company’s commitment to social responsibility and its ability to lead industry progress. It will have a profound impact on the healthy development of the food ice industry.
