QualityMOUNT DESERT SPRING WATER QUALITY REPORT

Our bottled water meets all federal and state health standards.

The FDA regulates bottled water as a food product; the EPA

regulates tap water as provided by water Utilities. Standards of

quality enacted by the FDA for bottled water must be as

protective of the public health as the EPA’s Maximum

Contaminant Levels for tap water. Ensuring the safety of the

water is our primary objective in providing our product to the consumer.

Our company regularly tests for organic and inorganic chemicals that are not regulated by the FDA. As an extra safeguard, we also test

for unregulated contaminants. No contaminants have been detected above the FDA’s limits in our testing, as demonstrated by the
