Irish ‘Baby Pure Water’ recalled as production plant gets closure order

If you've got bottles of Pure Water or Baby Pure Water at home, don't use or consume them.

Consumers are being asked to bring all bottles of the water back to where they bought them amid safety worries. The plant where the water is produced in Navan in Co Meath has been ordered to shut down temporarily by the HSE. The closure order was served after the premises was found to be non-compliant with food legislation. The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has now issued a product recall, citing "insufficient controls at the production site" in Ardbraccan, Navan as the reason. Pure Water and Baby Pure Water are sold in one-litre bottles in stores around the country. All batches of the water fall under the recall, the FSAI said today. It's urging customers who have bought the water to return it to the point of purchase for a full refund. Pure Water is a distilled water that has had a number of the minerals, including chlorine, fluoride, sodium and salt, removed. As well as drinking, its uses include cleaning (the manufacturers promise that the water doesn't leave streaks), ironing and cooking as it can "enhance the flavours" of various foods.   Main image via iStock.
