Because it is regulated by FDA as a packaged food product, bottled water products must include consumer contact information on the label so consumers can get brand-specific information from the bottler, distributor, or packer. And, in addition to Standard of Identity requirements, bottled water companies must follow the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act (NLEA), which sets rules for labels including: serving sizes, format, and placement of the label on the food package. NLEA helps consumers be sure that the nutritional information appearing on bottled water and all other food packages, will be uniform, easy to understand, and meaningful. Standardized labeling is useful to people with dietary restrictions and those concerned about monitoring intake of essential daily nutrients.
