Potable water
Ice and steam from potable water
RequirementRef. FSSAI-FSE-WAT-002
In plain language
If ice or steam touches food directly, it needs to be made from potable water and handled so it doesn't get contaminated -- not just the water you cook with.
Official text
“Ice and steam used in direct contact with food shall be made from potable water and shall be produced, handled and stored in such a manner that no contamination can happen.”
What to do
Confirm ice machines/steamers are supplied from the same potable water source, and stored/handled to avoid contamination.
