Nestle Waters’ John B. Challinor II responds to bacteria in bottled water study
GUELPH, ONTARIO, May 28, 2010 (Water Tech) — In a column posted on nationalpost.com, John B. Challinor II, director of corporate affairs for Nestle Waters Canada, responded to a recent study that showed that bottled water contains more nonpathogenic heterotropic (HPC) bacteria than tap water.
Challinor quoted Health Canada as stating, “Like most foods, bottled water may contain naturally occurring bacteria which typically have little or no health significance. In numerous studies, heterotropic bacteria isolated from water have been shown to be of no human health consequence.”
He also referenced a 2003 World Health Organization study found that these bacteria pose “no significant risk to consumers.”
Challinor concluded by saying, “HPC bacteria can sometimes be found in trace amounts in bottled water and municipal water systems, even after disinfection.”
