'A lot of people feel sick after eating at a restaurant and assume it's food poisoning,' says Dr. Oz.

Some restaurants don't clean their ice makers on a regular basis, and instead utilize unclean water to produce ice, according to a TikTok video featuring an HVACR technician.

Since it was released last week, @jantheman 's video showing how filthy a restaurant ice machine's water is has received 2.7 million views and 238,600 likes. No indication is given as to where the ice machine is.

"When individuals feel sick after eating at a restaurant, they often assume it's due to food poisoning. As he zooms in on a filthy ice machine, @jantheman__ adds, "There's a chance it was their ice that made you sick." The filthy brown ice machine's water has a thin coating of scum on top of it.

You're unwell because of that water. You're lying if you deny that this water has given folks the chills. @jantheman__, a Twitter user with more than 100,000 followers, says it's "so, so nasty."

It's an HVACR technician that makes movies about ice machines on TikTok, frequently showing how filthy industrial refrigeration can be.

According to reports, filthy ice is frequently the result of ice makers that have not been properly maintained. Restaurants that do not clean and sterilize their ice machines on a regular basis face the danger of transmitting bacteria like E. coli and coliform to its patrons. It's true that 30% of the ice samples obtained from 88 businesses in the UK in 2011 contained enterococci and E.coli.

The majority of the 7,523 comments indicate displeasure with the state of the ice machine and concern about the hygiene of restaurant ice.

One commenter, @kinzington, opined that if the ice machine was unclean, the rest of the restaurant was as well.

Another user, @bigg mommas house, chimed up with, "You think a child earning $7 an hour is going to clean that?"

At a fast food restaurant, @premiumplaygirl said she scraped out the ice and discovered dark mold below.
