E. coli found in bottled water: FSA Source of Article: http://www.rte.ie/news/2008/1117/water.html Monday, 17 November 2008
16:09 The Food Safety Authority has confirmed that a survey in 2007 found
that 1% of samples of bottled water had E. coli. 6.3% of water was found to have coliform
bacteria, indicating possible faecal contamination. On RTÉ News at One, FSA Chief Specialist in Food
Science Wayne Anderson said the level of contamination was unacceptable and
any problems found were corrected immediately. He said consumers should not be concerned about the quality and
safety of bottled water on the market today. It was found that one in every 11 of Irish produced bottled water was
contaminated, compared to one in 119 of imported water. The study also found that over 7% of bottle water was in breach of
Irish or EU guidelines. |
