In a shocking revelation, authorities have declared 28 bottled water brands unsafe for human consumption due to contamination and failure to meet safety standards.
According to recent tests conducted by health and food safety agencies, these brands contain harmful levels of bacteria, heavy metals, and other contaminants that pose serious health risks. The regulatory bodies have advised consumers to avoid purchasing these brands until further notice.
Officials stated that some of the samples contained dangerous levels of arsenic, lead, and other toxic substances, which could lead to long-term health issues, including kidney damage and gastrointestinal illnesses. The affected brands were distributed across various markets, raising concerns about the overall quality control measures in the bottled water industry.
“We urge consumers to be cautious and check for safety certifications before purchasing bottled water,” said a spokesperson from the health department. “We are working to ensure that only safe and quality-assured products reach the market.”
The full list of affected brands is expected to be published soon, and legal action may be taken against companies found violating safety regulations. In the meantime, authorities recommend drinking purified or boiled water to avoid potential health risks.
