Does California have different labeling requirements for bottled water from those of the U.S. FDA?
California adopts all federal labeling requirements for bottled water, but has additional requirements. For example, contact information be stated on the label of bottled water (e.g., telephone number, mailing address, or e-mail address of the bottler or brand owner). In the case of products in non-returnable bottles, the contact information can be provided on each billing statement. California has adopted a definition for “flavored water,” which has not been established in the federal regulations.
