USA: International Bottled Water Association applauds federal bottled water consumer information legislation

The Bottled Water Quality Information Act, currently discussed in the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, makes it easier for consumers to obtain clear, consistent and comprehensive information about bottled water. Uniform information about the quality and safety of bottled water products are main results. The act requires producers to annually prepare a quality report that includes the type of water source, treatment methods and test results. Labels subsequently state how consumers may obtain the quality water report, next to mentioning the name and contact details of the water manufacturer or distributor and type of water source (News Release Food&Beverage Packaging, 14 July 2014).
