Evian Natural Spring Water - Annual Water Quality Report

Transcription

1 Evian Natural Spring Water - Annual Water Quality Report At Evian we are proud of the quality of our products. Evian Natural Spring Water is distributed nationally and meets or exceeds all bottled water standards for quality and safety at the Federal and state level. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates bottled water as a food. Our scientists and independent certified laboratories perform extensive tests on the water source and finished bottled water product to ensure we exceed or are compliant with all Federal and state bottled water requirements. In addition to existing stringent regulatory standards, the International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) maintains a strict Model Code of quality for its members. Evian is a member of IBWA and meets or exceeds the quality requirements of the IBWA s Model Code. Additionally, we take pride in the fact that our bottled water production plant is annually inspected, on an unannounced basis, by an independent testing organization, NSF International (NSF). Based on unannounced annual plant inspections and product testing, NSF certifies that Evian Natural Spring Water complies with federal and state bottled water regulations and IBWA s Model Code. NSF is located in Ann Arbor, Michigan. For more information about IBWA and NSF, please visit their websites at and or call IBWA at -800-WATER- and NSF at Evian Natural Spring Water Source Evian Natural Spring Water begins its journey as rain and snow at the top of the French Alps. It takes at least years for every drop of Evian to filter through the glacial sand formations of the French Alps. It is also during that long journey that Evian acquires its unique, well-balanced, mineral composition. Evian s mineral composition has remained unique since it was first recorded in 807, an additional proof of its quality. Evian Natural Spring Water Bottling Evian Natural Spring Water is bottled exclusively at its protected natural spring source (Cachat Spring), which lies at the very foot of the French Alps, far from any urban or industrial development. The Cachat Spring name is clearly stated on the Evian s label. Evian s source is approved by several regulatory agencies based on a detailed and extensive review. The high quality of Evian both at the source and after bottling is controlled by analytical tests. These tests verify that the water is not contaminated in any way. Several hundred tests are performed daily both on the source before the water is bottled and on the finished product to verify the constancy of the mineral composition, the absence of pollution and the quality of the plastic bottles. The stainless steel piping from the spring directly to the plant and the filling equipment are designed to protect Evian s purity, in addition to the automated bottling equipment which is maintained under strict sanitary conditions. Water Quality Data Attached is a copy of our most recent extensive water quality testing conducted by the independent certified laboratory, NSF. The NSF Report lists the water quality test results for over 7 substances including inorganics (metals, minerals, etc.), organics (pesticides, herbicides, etc.) and microbials as well as physical parameters. Evian Natural Spring Water is analyzed for both regulated and unregulated substances. This Report contains the substance analyzed, approved test method used, test result, minimum detection limit, measurement unit, date analyzed and FDA Quality Standard for bottled water, if applicable. The FDA Quality Standards are the maximum allowable levels for over 80 substances in bottled water. Evian Natural Spring Water is in full compliance with all federal, state and industry bottled water standards.

Notes: ) Bottled water sold in the United States shall not contain Fluoride in excess of the levels published by the USFDA in CFR Part 6.0. These levels are based on the annual average of maximum daily air temperatures at the location where the bottled water is sold at retail. Please refer to the most current edition of the regulation to determine the Fluoride maximum level that pertains to your product. ) A blank on the FDA SOQ column indicates that no maximum level has been established by the FDA for that contaminant. 3) An result means that the contaminant was not detected at or above the detection limit for the instrument.
