Re: Borrego bill #22262
The water has to be sampled and approved, it's a whole process.
I really don't think RMHB knew that from the start.
FDA Regulates the Safety of Bottled Water Beverages Including Flavored Water and Nutrient-Added Water Beverages

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are both responsible for the safety of drinking water. EPA regulates public drinking water (tap water), while FDA regulates bottled drinking water.
FDA has set Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMPs) specifically for bottled water. They require bottled water producers to:FDA Inspector's badge
Process, bottle, hold and transport bottled water under sanitary conditions;
Protect water sources from bacteria, chemicals and other contaminants;
Use quality control processes to ensure the bacteriological and chemical safety of the water;
Sample and test both source water and the final product for contaminants.
FDA monitors and inspects bottled water products and processing plants under its food safety program. When FDA inspects plants, the Agency verifies that the plant's product water and operational water supply are obtained from an approved source; inspects washing and sanitizing procedures; inspects bottling operations; and determines whether the companies analyze their source water and product water for contaminants.
