|Questions and 100% solution
Does the FDA regulate fluoride in bottled water? - ✔Yes. The federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act provides FDA with broad regulatory authority over food, including bottled water,
that is introduced or delivered for interstate commerce (produced and sold in more than one
state). Bottled water that is in intrastate commerce (produced and sold only in one state) is
under the jurisdiction of the state in which the bottled water is produced and sold. You need
to contact the manufacturer to ask if their product is under FDA jurisdiction or state
jurisdiction.
Does the EPA have jurisdiction over the quality of bottled water? - ✔The EPA does not have
jurisdiction over the quality of bottled water. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
and the FDA have a 1979 Memorandum of Agreement specifying that the EPA regulates safe
drinking water in accordance with the Safe Drinking Water Act, and the FDA regulates bottled
water as a consumer beverage under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Federal Register,
Volume 44, No. 141, July 20, 1979). The FDA has its own regulations on standards of quality,
identity, and good manufacturing practices that bottled water must meet.
