Ice Cream From Machines

Ice cream from self-serve machines might be fun, but these machines aren’t always cleaned as thoroughly as they should be. Bacteria can grow in the crevices, leading to potential stomach upset. For a safer sweet treat, go for pre-packaged ice cream bars or scooped ice cream from a staffed station where hygiene is more controlled. These options are just as enjoyable and offer peace of mind. You can indulge in a safer way without sacrificing taste.
