Is dry ice safe?Updated 2 years ago

Dry ice is extremely safe for shipping seafood, especially because it keeps your seafood extremely cold until delivery. You will need to take care when opening your package, however, as it can be dangerous to touch it or breath it in directly. Open your box outside or in a large or ventilated space and allow the dry ice to dissipate for a few minutes before removing your seafood. Do not touch the ice with bare hands. You can pour any remaining dry ice into a sink or onto the ground outside to sublimate.
