E.coli in a Sample of Beechvale Natural Still Water

The FSAI has been notified that a sample of Beechvale Natural Still Water was found to contain E. coli (1 cfu/250 ml). Although E. coli may be non-pathogenic, it is an indicator of faecal contamination and renders the water unsafe and in breach of microbiological criteria for bottled water. The matter is under investigation. Follow the link to find out more.
