The Municipal Affairs Bureau (IAM) said in a statement last night that 18.9-litre potable water containers from another local manufacturer have been found to exceed official bacterial standards.
This came after the local O’Sum brand’s 18.9-litre potable bottled water containers were found last month to exceed official bacterial standards.
Last night’s statement said that the bureau yesterday tested samples taken from 18.9-litre potable bottled water containers from five other local bottled water manufacturer, one of which has been found to have excessive levels of coliform bacteria and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The statement said that the problematic products were not supplied to hospitals and schools, neither were they sold in the retail market.
The problematic product announced last night was the local NK brand’s 18.9-litre potable water containers, which were bottled on Monday.
