According to Craig, we should apply the same hygienic standards to our ice cube trays. \u201cIn general, they should be cleaned like you would any other kitchen item: with hot soapy water, then rinsed well,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<hr\/>\n<p>While Craig notes that the risk for contamination is relatively low, the risk is still present. \u201cIt\u2019s a good idea to wash them because you just don\u2019t know what could have happened or if they have been contaminated,\u201d he continues. \u201cWhy risk it if it\u2019s pretty easy to clean them before refilling them?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ice cube trays may not be inherently more likely to breed bacteria than other kitchen tools. However, since many of us (I\u2019m sure it\u2019s not just me\u2026 <em>right?<\/em>) probably don\u2019t wash them regularly, the risk can escalate since they\u2019re simply not so fresh and so clean. (Off topic: I hope at least a few readers will appreciate the conveniently appropriate Outkast references thus far.) After all, Craig reminds us that freezing isn\u2019t really a kill step. \u201cIt may kill some bacteria by lysis due to expanding water, but many bacteria survive cold storage and can continue to grow, although slowly,\u201d he shares.<\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content \" style=\"\" data-module-init=\"related-content\" data-module-immediate=\"\" v-cloak=\"\">\n<div class=\"related-content__wrapper \" v-cloak=\"\" :class=\"{'is-loaded':isLoaded}\">\n<p> <span class=\"inline pr-6 text-seafoam-dark\">Related Stories<\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <related-content class=\"related-content__links\" parent-article-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/ice-cube-tray-tips\/\" current-title=\"Ice Cubes (and Their Trays) Can Be a Breeding Ground for Bacteria\u2014Here\u2019s the Easiest Way To Avoid It, From a Food Safety Expert\" current-image=\"Stocksy_txp58a8cfc7Qbl300_Small_722281-425x285.jpg\" v-on:parsely-posts-loaded=\"onPostsLoaded\" start-date=\"2023-02-10\" tag=\"div\" inline-template=\"\" url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/ice-cube-tray-tips\/\" secret=\"w5ztterVB03LGZJLfXS0hf3EvQBuFFIWew9hmVQxthU\" apikey=\"wellandgood.com\" limit=\"3\"> <\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"related-content__card mb-[10px] sm:mb-[20px]\" :class=\"{'related-content__card--full':posts.length === 1}\" v-for=\"(post, key) in posts\"> <a v-on:click.prevent=\"trackLinkGA($event, key)\" :href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/ice-cube-tray-tips\/post.url\" data-url-source=\"related-content\" class=\"related-content__link\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content__card--image bg-tan\" :style=\"{ backgroundImage: 'url(' + post.image_url + ')' }\"> <img :src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/ice-cube-tray-tips\/post.image_url\" :alt=\"post.title\"\/> <\/div>\n<p> <\/a>  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <\/related-content> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Craig mentions this is a key reason why frozen foods like ice cream are often associated with salmonella, listeria, and mono recalls. \u201cThe freezing process doesn\u2019t kill the bacteria,\u201d he reiterates. \u201cAs soon as it gets back into conditions that support growth, that bacteria can come back and cause illness.\u201d Bacteria aside, research shows that ice cubes also have the potential to <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/29080227\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/29080227\/\">harbor opportunistic pathogens<\/a>\u2014including yeast and mold\u2014that remain viable as you sip on your chilled bev of choice.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201c[Freezing perishable items] may kill some bacteria by lysis due to expanding water, but many bacteria survive cold storage and can continue to grow, although slowly.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Moreover, filling your ice cube trays with something beyond H2O\u2014like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/how-to-make-coffee-ice\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/how-to-make-coffee-ice\/\">coffee to prevent watery cold brew<\/a>, or fruit and herbs mixed into water to make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/fancy-ice\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/fancy-ice\/\">fancy ice<\/a>\u2014heightens the chances of breeding bacteria. \u201cAdding anything to water is likely to increase the risk of bacteria being introduced, and nutrients into that mix to support the growth of bacteria,\u201d Craig cautions. Again the risk is low but still there. \u201cKeep that in mind with anything you add or make a liquid out of,\u201d he continues. \u201cIt will have all the bacteria risks as before but probably just slowed.\u201d This includes the likes of frozen broths and soups, especially if they were refrigerated or left to sit at room temperature for a few days, instead of freezing them immediately.<\/p>\n<h2>3 safety tips for ice cube storage<\/h2>\n<p>To ensure that your ice cubes are as safe as possible for consumption, heed Craig\u2019s parting tips.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Wash them (and your hands) before refilling<\/h3>\n<p>Remember: Give ice cube trays a good scrub with hot soapy water, rinse them well, and let them dry completely putting them back to use. While you\u2019re at it, fill your trays only after washing your hands to avoid potential contamination from the inevitable shaky transfer to the freezer.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Store your ice cube trays on the top shelf of your freezer<\/h3>\n<p>In case you store your trays wherever you can find room in your freezer, Craig advises making a dedicated space for them higher up. \u201cA good rule that I use in my freezer is to put my ice cube trays near the top so they are less likely to be contaminated by anything that could drip,\u201d he shares. \u201cThere&#8217;s a lot of food that you buy from the grocery store that is naturally going to be contaminated with dangerous bacteria that might go into your freezer. Meat is a good example and potentially could drip into other foods or trays and contaminate them.\u201d <em>Hard pass, TYVM.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>On this point, it\u2019s also a good idea to leave enough buffer room between your ice cube trays and any other items to limit contact and thus potential contamination.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Clean out your ice storage container<\/h3>\n<p>If your freezer has a built-in ice maker, the same standards for cleaning apply. \u201cAs for the [containers] that are auto-filled and dumped by the fridge themselves, they should be in a different section of your fridge and are less likely to be exposed,\u201d Craig notes. At any rate, \u201cThey usually can be removed and cleaned.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1675549\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re like me and prefer your drinks \u00e0 la Andre 3000 (that is, cooler than being cool: ice cold), I have an important question to ask: When\u2019s the last time you thoroughly cleaned out your ice cube trays?
