The Cascade City-County Health Department issued a customer advisory on July 2 for ice from an unlicensed vendor.

CCHD issued a notice for ice made at an unlicensed facility in Great Falls and any ice made at Great Falls Ice Co. at 2801 Great Bear Ave. is an unapproved source.

The vendor is not currently licensed or certified under local health and safety regulations.

Ice from the unlicensed manufacturer has been sold to retail locations located throughout Cascade County.

“The ice may be contaminated and may not be safe for human consumption,” according to CCHD. 

As of July 2, CCHD directed Great Falls Ice Co. to discontinue all ice production until the facility meets licensing requirements and retail food establishments have been notified of the unapproved source that may have been distributed to their location.

CCHD is advising customers to avoid consuming ice from the unapproved source.

The following photos are two examples of ice bags which show the ice was made within the unlicensed facility:
