If you're drinking a glacier water, you don't have to worry about contamination, according to importers of SNO Glacier Water from Iceland .
That's because bottled water that comes from above ground is unlikely to be contaminated as opposed to water that comes from reservoirs or underground sources, which have increasing levels of nitrates and other contaminants, the company said.
Citing how several supermarket chains recently have had to recall their branded bottled water due to potential E. coli contamination, the importers of SNO Glacier Water from Iceland suggest maybe it's time to look up and consider drinking water that comes from above ground, which is naturally filtered through layers of volcanic lava rock like SNO, now sold in many supermarkets throughout the state, including Bristol Farms, Safeway and at other locations.
According to news reports, a leading private-label water bottling company in the United States, reported that E. coli bacteria was found in one of its spring water sources. "These bacteria can make you sick, and are a particular concern for people with weakened immune systems," the company wrote in a statement.
Another upset SNO said it could calm in California stems from residents outraged from having to cut back their water use, while companies bottling water there aren't asked to do the same. They've complained about some big name companies which operate water bottling plants in California and dozens of activists protested outside two of the plants recently and online petitions have garnered thousands of signatures demanding companies like Nestle halt their bottling operations.
The importers of SNO say they are helping drought situations here and around the world by bringing in a new source of bottled water, that being glacier water from Iceland to complement and augment local water supply.
