Bottled Water: More Than Just a Story About Sales Growth; Stringent Federal, State and Industry Standards Help Ensure Safety, Quality and Good Taste
[New York] 09 Apr 2007:
ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 9 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The InternationalBottled Water Association (IBWA), in conjunction with Beverage MarketingCorporation (BMC), today released bottled water statistics for the year 2006,compiled by BMC. These numbers show that U.S. bottled water sales andconsumption continue to rise, as consumers increasingly choose bottled waterover other beverages.
The latest upward trend was reflected in 2006 when total bottled water volume exceeded 8.25 billion gallons, a 9.5 percent increase over 2005, and the 2006 bottled water per capita consumption level of 27.6 gallons increased by over two gallons, from 25.4 gallons per capita the previous year. Additionally, the wholesale dollar sales for bottled water exceeded $10.8 billion in 2006, an 8.5 percent increase over the $10 billion in 2005. These statistics demonstrate continued consumer demand and appreciation for the convenience and good taste of bottled water brands consumed on-the-go, during exercise, at restaurants or meetings, and at home or the office. However, consumers should also know that bottled water safety and quality result from multiple layers of regulation and standards at the federal, state and industry levels.
Bottled water is comprehensively regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a packaged food product, and has issued stringent standards for safety, quality, production, labeling, and identity. Along with the FDA's Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs), which are required of all foods, bottled water must comply with several other applicable regulations, including Standards of Identity, Standards of Quality and additional, specific bottled water GMPs. Being a packaged food product, bottled water is also bound by the Nutrition Labeling Education Act (NLEA) and the full range of FDA protective measures designed to enforce product safety and protect consumers. States also regulate bottled water inspections, sampling, analyzing and approving bottled water sources. Testing laboratory certification is another area where states may regulate bottled water. As part of the IBWA Bottled Water Code of Practice, IBWA members voluntarily utilize the principles of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) for a science-based approach to bottled water production and safety. FDA recognizes HACCP as a key component of food safety and consumer protection.
"While all beverages have their role in a marketplace with an abundance of drink choices," says Stephen R. Kay, IBWA Vice President of Communications, "consumers are choosing bottled water as a refreshing, hydrating beverage and as an alternative to others that may contain calories, caffeine, sugar, artificial colors, alcohol or other ingredients, which they wish to moderate or avoid. For instance, during 2006, individual ...

Food Network® Star Says Cooking for Seniors Shouldn’t be Boring
“Stop watering down food for seniors,” says Rachael Ray, star of the Food
Network®’s “30 Minute Meals” show and author of a series of recipe cookbooks.
“There’s no excuse for making food dull, lifeless and boring,” the popular food host
advises family caregivers. Ray said that adult children often assume their loved ones
need bland food. “What they really want is good flavor. Cook to impress, cook to be
excited or, at the very least, cook to share,” Ray said.
Be creative to liven up food while staying within a senior’s dietary guidelines. Here’s
how Ray recommends adding flavor to a senior’s diet without compromising good
health:
• Add low-sodium, no-salt stock to a sauce to make it taste like it has been
simmering all day. Likewise, cook rice in chicken or vegetable stock rather than water,
and replace cream with stock when making mashed potatoes for a flavorful, low-fat
alternative.
• Fresh herbs are a no-fat addition, and readily available in grocery stores to
brighten the flavor of salads, dressing and sauces.
• Purchase better cuts of meat for better flavor and less fat. Seniors shouldn’t
sacrifice quality, even if they’re on a budget. “Never buy less than a ground sirloin
because of the fat content. Don’t buy fatty foods as opposed to lean, healthy meats to
save pennies because in the end you’re not, you have to trim. And the amount of waste
balanced against lean clean meat is negligible. A small amount of lean protein is better
than a larger amount of fatty protein.”
• Stock up on fresh meats and vegetables when they’re on sale, then divide and
freeze them. Prepared foods are not good for seniors because they can’t control the
amount of salts, fats and additives. They should spend the money instead on prepared
raw foods they can finish cooking, which will taste better to them as well.
It’s important to involve seniors in meal preparation as much as possible. Having
help in the kitchen can make the difference between whether a senior eats well or not,
Ray said. “But even if a senior can’t help prepare the food, have them in the room
when you’re cooking, talk to them, let them smell it and feel it,” Ray added. “It’s a
visceral experience that involves all the senses and makes seniors feel whole. It doesn’t
just fill you up, it makes you feel alive.” (Food Network®)
