Update on “Real Water” Acute Non-viral Hepatitis Illnesses
The FDA posted on its website that “Real Water” did not cooperate with the authorities in their investigation. As a result, the investigators have been unable to complete the investigation at the “Real Water” facilities in Henderson, NV, and Mesa, AZ, because the company provided no records. As a result, on March 23, FDA issued a Demand for Records under section 414 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

Currently, there are five illnesses associated with the product. @ https://www.fda.gov/food/outbreaks-foodborne-illness/investigation-acute-non-viral-hepatitis-illnesses-real-water-brand-alkaline-water-march-2021?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery
