The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) is responsible for regulating the safety of bottled water in the United States. They set standards for the quality and purity of bottled water, as well as oversight for labeling claims. Contacting the FDA would provide the most accurate information on the safety of bottled water. The USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) is responsible for regulating meat, poultry, and egg products, and would not have jurisdiction over bottled water. BPA (Bisphenol A) is a chemical used in plastic products, including some water bottles, but is not an agency responsible for regulating water safety. The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) is responsible for regulating the quality of tap water, but not specifically bottled water.
