Botted Water
Bottled Water is One of the Safest, Most Regulated Food Products on the Market.
And you thought is was just a guy with a garden hose!
Think again.
Bottled water uses a Multi-Barrier approach that builds safety and quality control into every step of its path to market.
Source protection and monitoring, reverse osmosis, deionization, ultraviolet light, distillation, micro filtration and ozonation are among the measures bottlers may use to protect and enhance the quality of bottled water.
Bottled water is regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and meets all state regulations.
All International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) bottlers must adhere to the IBWA Model Code that in many cases is more stringent than FDA, EPA, or state standards.
As an added measure of safety and quality, bottled water is one of only four packaged food products that must adhere to its own specific FDA Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) which require bottling in sanitary conditions using food grade equipment and sanitary, safety-sealed food grade containers.
The care that goes into every step of bottled water's path to market is the key to its consistent high quality, safety and good taste.
