A major source of these illnesses is thought to be crushed ice used in drinks. Many stalls in Chennai selling fresh fruit juice prefer to use cheaper commercial ice, which is sourced from fish vendors. These slabs of ice are made in unlicensed units and may contain bacteria such as Escherichia coli and salmonella, along with chemicals like lead and arsenic. Because of staff shortages, inspection of ice production facilities by officials is rarely done. In addition, the absence of quality standards and guidelines for manufacturing ice hampers monitoring. Officials who have visited ice manufacturing units report that most of them have unhygienic environments. They use untreated water from bore wells or water tankers, and the ice blocks may be wrapped in dirty sacks and handled by workers with bare hands. Officials note that it is almost impossible to check the ice used by a multitude of street vendors. Only a few elite clubs and hotels in the city buy ice made of treated water.<\/p>\n<p id=\"254c\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\"><strong class=\"markup--strong markup--p-strong\">Be Careful During Your Travels<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"22be\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">This situation is not unique.
