BAOCHARM and the New Chinese Ice Machine Standards: Elevating Food Ice Safety and Production

In the constantly evolving food industry, maintaining safety and hygiene in all stages of production is paramount. As a major player in the Chinese ice machine industry, BAOCHARM has contributed significantly to raising the standards for ice production. Recently, the China National Food Industry Association released the "Hygienic Specifications for Food Ice Production and Operation" (T/CNFIA187-2024), a group standard that introduces strict guidelines for the production of food ice. BAOCHARM, a leading manufacturer of industrial ice machines, proudly served as one of the key contributors to this standard, reflecting its commitment to safety and excellence in the food ice industry.

This article delves into the significance of the new standard, how it impacts the industry, and how BAOCHARM's involvement in its drafting showcases the company's dedication to advancing food ice production and safety protocols. Additionally, we will explore how BAOCHARM’s product range aligns with these guidelines, ensuring that our ice machines set a benchmark in the market.

What Does the New Standard Cover?

The "Hygienic Specifications for Food Ice Production and Operation" (T/CNFIA187-2024) is a comprehensive document that aims to safeguard hygiene and safety in food ice production. It covers several critical areas:

• Product Classification: This includes edible ice, which can be consumed directly, preservation ice that helps extend food shelf life, and ice used in various stages of food processing.
• Basic Requirements: These relate to facility locations, environmental conditions, design layout, and the materials used for internal structures.
• Hygienic Management: This includes sanitation of facilities and equipment, raw materials, and additives.
• Food Safety Control: Ensuring every stage of the production process is safe, from manufacturing to packaging and transportation.
• Inspection and Recalls: Protocols for quality checks, storage, transport, sales, and the management of product recalls.
• Management and Training: A framework for record-keeping, document management, and personnel training to uphold these standards.

By adhering to these guidelines, ice factories can significantly enhance the quality of food ice and ensure it meets stringent hygiene and safety criteria.

The Importance of Hygiene and Safety in Food Ice Production

Food ice plays an essential role in many industries, particularly in food processing, preservation, and direct consumption. The sanitary conditions under which this ice is produced and handled have a direct impact on public health. Improperly managed ice can harbor bacteria and contaminants, posing serious risks to consumers.

The introduction of this standard is a significant step toward creating a safer food environment by establishing clear hygiene protocols for the ice industry. For BAOCHARM, this highlights the company’s capability to manufacture ice factory machines that not only produce high-quality ice but also comply with the highest safety standards.
