According to a recent survey, roughly 64% of bottled water in the United States comes from municipal water supplies—the same tap water that most people have access to.
Furthermore, some firms hardly purify this water before bottling it, and their products occasionally exceed allowable contamination limits. This raises fundamental concerns regarding transparency and whether consumers are getting what they expect to pay for.
The Brands You Should Know: Transparency and Contamination
Study Finds Possibly Toxic Chemical in Drinking Water
Walmart’s Sam’s Choice and Giant Food’s Acadia have faced criticism for their high levels of contamination. According to studies, Sam’s Choice sometimes exceeded California’s bottled water safety regulations, which is troubling given the premium consumers pay for what they believe to be superior quality. Acadia encountered similar challenges, raising concerns about the concealed health risks in certain bottled water products.
In contrast, products such as Gerber Pure Purified Water, Nestlé Pure Life Purified Water, and Penta Ultra-Purified Water have received accolades for their openness. These companies have freely disclosed their water sources, purification procedures, and safety guarantees, gaining consumer trust in an industry fraught with ambiguity.
