Bottled water in the United States must be in sealed containers and have no added ingredients, except for an agent that prevents the growth of microbes. The government does not require manufacturers of bottled water to follow safety standards that are more strict than the standards for tap water from public water supplies. While there are regulations established by the EPA and CDC, they are not specifically for bottled water. Finally, the FDA does not require certification of bottled water as being safe and from a natural source, although many bottled water companies do choose to obtain third-party certifications for marketing purposes.
