Is bottled water sold in Canada safe?
Bottled water has an excellent safety record in Canada. At the present time, no waterborne disease outbreaks have been associated with drinking bottled water in Canada. Health Canada is confident that the current bottled water regulations, as well as the general provisions of the Food and Drugs Act, are adequate to ensure the safety of bottled water products in Canada. Nevertheless, Health Canada is presently reviewing these regulations to update current requirements to incorporate new scientific knowledge, to harmonize them with the standards of other governments and international agencies and to bring the Regulations in line with the Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality.
