How to tell the authenticity of bottled water

Barreled water is a necessary drinking water for families and offices. However, the bottled water in the market is mixed, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false bottled water, which makes many people hesitate to buy. So how can we distinguish the authenticity of bottled water so that we can all drink healthy drinking water? The following small series will introduce the method of distinguishing the authenticity of bottled water and the purchase skills of bottled water. Let's get to know each other. First, how to distinguish the authenticity of bottled water

1, look at the invoice

When choosing bottled water, the easiest way is to ask the water station for an invoice. Don't bother. The invoice can reflect whether the water station has a formal business license, business license and other business qualifications, while the informal water station has no formal invoice.

Step 2 look at the water source

In addition to choosing products of big brands, it is more important to see whether the water source is a high-quality and pollution-free area. High quality water is one of the key factors for qualified bottled water. When buying bottled water, you should pay attention to its water source, and it is best to choose those areas that are not polluted. Because the bottled water market is still very chaotic, some wholesale markets, small workshops and vendors ignore the hygiene and safety of the business license of the water station, storage conditions, whether the delivery personnel are healthy or not, and don't be greedy and cheap when buying.

3. Look at the security code

Basically, every barrel of bottled water has an anti-counterfeiting code. It is suggested that after buying back the bottled water, you can scrape off the coating of the anti-counterfeiting code or scan the QR code, and you can find out the production date, manufacturer address and other information of the bottled water by telephone, website and SMS.

It should be noted that the appearance of the security code should be clear and complete, and each security code can only be queried once. When you query again, you will be prompted that you have queried.

4. Look at the color of the barrel

Some manufacturers will reuse some damaged and eliminated old drinking water barrels and process them into new ones for recycling, or in order to reduce the cost, waste recycling materials are mixed in the production process and water is injected into such barrels, so that toxic and harmful substances in plastics can easily dissolve into drinking water, which is harmful to human health.

Therefore, when choosing bottled water, we should also pay attention to distinguish the color of the barrel. The appearance of a regular bucket is transparent and smooth, and the barrel body is even and pure light blue or sky blue. If the color of the barrel is black or there are impurities on the barrel wall, it is proved that the barrel is made of recycled materials or garbage materials, which is extremely harmful to human body after long-term use. In addition, you can tap the empty bucket with your fingers. Conventional barrels sound crisp, while "black-hearted barrels" sound dull.

5. Look at this seal

The heat-shrinkable film of inferior water seal is generally very thin and dull, and some are dried by a hair dryer, which is not very tight and uneven, while real water is the opposite.

6. Watch laser coding

Many big brands of bottled water have laser coding at the barrel mouth, which is made by laser puncture. As long as the lid of the barrel with plastic packaging film is torn open, the same words can be seen under the light, and the hand can feel its concave and convex feeling, which is impossible for fake water to do.

7. Look at this lid

The cover of real water is pure in color and has a strong luster. There is usually an arc-shaped indentation tear, which can be torn along the line with a little force. The cover of fake water is dark in color, giving the first impression that it is made of recycled materials and it is difficult to tear it off.

Second, the purchase skills of bottled water

1, look at the bottled water.

From the appearance of the packaging barrel, whether the transparency and smoothness of the barrel are good, whether the color of the barrel is pure, whether the sound of the empty drinking water barrel is crisp after being knocked by hand, and whether there are other peculiar smells and plastic smells in the empty barrel. If the color of the packaging barrel is dark, even black, or there is an odor in the barrel, it means that the packaging barrel has not met the hygiene standards, and long-term use is harmful or even toxic. Please pay special attention.

In addition to the neat appearance, whether the trademark name, manufacturer's name, address, product standard number, shelf life and contact telephone number on the barrel body are formal and complete (general formal manufacturers should be approved by the quality management department and printed according to the National Food Label Management Regulations), whether the sealing film is tightly packed, whether it falls off or is loose, and whether the label on the top of the lid has a production date.

2, whether the seal is tight

(1) To check whether the lid of the bottled water is tightly sealed, you can turn the bottled water upside down and check whether there is water leakage or water leakage at the sealing place. If the bucket leaks or leaks upside down, it means that this bucket of water has been polluted for the second time, which does not meet the requirements of food hygiene standards and cannot be drunk any more.

(2) Whether there is a small white cover or plastic cloth falling from the cover and floating in the bucket after the bottled water is put into the drinking machine. If these phenomena occur, it is because of the poor quality of the lid that it can not play the role and requirements of sealing at all, which leads to water leakage, water leakage and finally secondary pollution of drinking water in the bucket. Please pay special attention to consumers.

3. Understand the basic situation of water plants.

(1) First of all, it is necessary to understand the legality of bottled water production enterprises, such as the Business License issued by the administrative department for industry and commerce, the Hygiene Permit issued by the health and epidemic prevention department, and the Quasi-production Certificate issued by the cold drink food office of this Municipality, as well as the results or reports of product quality inspection by the quality inspection department. In addition, attention should be paid to publishing the results of spot checks on the quality of its products by the quality and technical supervision department of this Municipality every year.

(2) Understand the production environment, raw material sources, production equipment and hardware conditions, production technical support and product quality assurance system of the enterprise (if possible, visit its waterworks for comparison).

(3) Ask the enterprise for some relevant information that can prove its production technology and product quality.

4. Understand its product distribution and related service items and commitments.

(1) Factory Direct Delivery: whether the bottled drinking water you selected is directly delivered to you by the manufacturer or the chain branch directly under the manufacturer, whether the clothes of the water delivery personnel are uniform and neat, and whether the bill used by the other party is consistent with the name of the manufacturer when you sign for bottled water or accept its service.

(2) Water delivery agent: If you want to deliver water to you as an agent (that is, a street shop), you must pay attention to its legal status and check whether it is authorized by the manufacturer (if necessary, you can contact the manufacturer to verify), whether your interests are guaranteed and what to use as a guarantee.

(3) Does the manufacturer have a professional maintenance service department and maintenance service personnel? When your water dispenser breaks down or needs cleaning service, is it as timely, enthusiastic and thoughtful as water delivery service? Because the timely maintenance and cleaning of drinking fountains is very important for your healthy drinking water.
