Silver in Ice Cream - In BAV Newsletter 02/2013

The authorities in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg provide information on the topic of silver in ice cream. One possible cause of silver contamination could be the use of silver-containing disinfectants in the storage water of the ice cream scooper. The addition of these substances for the preservation of, for example, the ice cream mixture is fundamentally prohibited. When using disinfectants for surface disinfection, it is important to always rinse thoroughly with fresh water to prevent the entry of disinfectant residues into the ice cream.
