High Levels of Arsenic In Bottled Water Sold At Whole Foods,Target, Walmart

You may think your bottled water is cleaner than your tap water, but be sure to do your research. A test conducted by California nonprofit Center for Environmental Health finds that two bottled water brands-- Peñafiel, owned by Keurig Dr. Pepper and Starkey, owned by Whole Foods — contain levels of arsenic that are higher than tap water. This violated state guidelines, as high levels of arsenic can cause reproductive harm and cancer. This echos findings from Consumer Reports, taken earlier this year, that found the same brands of water have nearly double the federal limit of arsenic in water. Peñafiel is currently sold at Target, Walmart and other vendors, while Starkey is sold at Whole Foods. So far the Food and Drug Administration has yet to recall either brand of bottled water.
