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.  Although the investigation is ongoing, current epidemiologic information indicates that this alkaline water product may cause illnesses.  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
