You have to know the end usage of the ice, whether it is for direct human
consumption, indirect product cooling or other non-food related
applications. Assess the risk related to ice becoming contaminated in your
freezer environment as well as the chances of subsequent
cross-contaminations of other products by the ice and associated
consequences in terms of hazards to human health. Please note that although
your ice may be in impermeable plastic bags but there are still chances
depending on the particular storage methods, overall housekeeping practices
and handling that they may in turn become contaminated on the surface and
very often that contamination may be subsequently transferred from the
package to the product itself.
