About the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

In the United States, bottled water and tap water are regulated by two different agencies; the FDA regulates bottled water and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates tap water. Most of the water used to make DASANI® comes from water utilities which must meet EPA regulations.

The FDA regulates food products, including bottled water. Food manufacturers are responsible for producing safe, wholesome and truthfully labeled food products. The FDA has established numerous regulations for bottled water including Good Manufacturing Practices, quality standards, and definitions of the types of bottled water. By law, FDA bottled water quality standards must be at least as stringent and protective of health standards as EPA tap water standards.

To demonstrate compliance with FDA's bottled water standards, The Coca-Cola Company periodically analyzes DASANI to ensure that our consumers are receiving safe and purified water of the highest quality.

This table provides an example of a typical annual DASANI analysis, conducted by an independent certified laboratory. This water analysis demonstrates that DASANI is in full compliance with bottled water quality standards.
