The following is a list of gaps and loopholes in bottled water regulation by the FDA:
1. Water bottled and sold in a single state — the majority of bottled water sold in the United States — is not covered by FDA rules, according to FDA.
2. FDA’s definition of “bottled water” covered by its standards irrationally exempts many types of bottled water.
3. Even water defined as “bottled water” is not specifically required to meet treatment, contamination, or testing standards as strict as those applicable to city tap water.
You can see loopholes and gaps in regulation could affect your health and if anything they affect your wallet. Don’t pay money for something that isn’t even as good as tap water. Do yourself a favor and purchase a water filter and water filter bottle to remove chlorine, bad taste, and odor from the water when your away from your home. Your body will thank you!
