What liquid are they using and do ice packs have any use once the
frozen food has been delivered? Seems a shame to throw them away.


It is probably "Dry Ice". Frozen Carbon Dioxide. Your freeze°r
would need to beta -78°C to keep it frozen ;-)


It's not dry ice. When the ice pack drops to domestic freezer
temperature, the content becomes a slightly viscous fluid.

It's a translucent pouch.
