Bottled mineral water.....is it still safe to drink the water after some time?!
Bottled mineral water.....is it still safe to drink the water after some time?
it has a written expiry date on the bottle and has not expired yet. I was wondering I found this opened one after a week and still have some water left in it...intact. Is it still safe to consume it?
And once opened....do I have to drink it within a time frame or follow the expiry date as stated on the bottle?
Tq for your answers...:)
Answers:
Depends if its been exposed to sunlight or heat then no bacteria can form in it after a while. If its been refrigerated as long as its not too old it should be ok.
Yes. There is no particular failure mechanism for bottled water; basically, it keeps indefinitely.
Its stays good for a very long time, after it is opened it should be refridgerated or drank quickly to prevent bacteria from growing in the water.
