Dry ice is typically available in the frozen food section or at the customer service desk. Availability may vary by location, so it’s a good idea to call ahead to check if your local Publix has it in stock.
Dry ice is often used for shipping perishable items or creating special effects for events. If you’re planning to use it for any of these purposes, make sure you handle it carefully, as it can cause skin burns.
