Are you aware of the Packaging requirements for Packaged Ice?

• Do you have non-compliant operators in your delivery areas?
• Do their bags have adequate and legal identification on them?
• Do they have tamperproof seals?
• Do they comply with recall procedures?
These are not a few casual questions……..They are LAW!
