I bought 15 bottles at $5.00 in October. Is that why they sold it so cheap? Food Lion in Frederick Md.

Pass it thro the water filter and take out the microplastics. Next. Moving on.

Going by the product codes, this is 4 day's or so worth of making bottled water from a single water bottle plant so not of huge concern for water bottle sourcing as a whole. Definitely make sure the codes you have are good to go though.

It's odd though that they made this determination weeks after production, considering that there is a continual QC process of testing sample gallons of water for bacterial contamination, mineral content, etc. The facility that I worked at before would know if there was contaminated water before it even shipped out.
