A day in the life of a Middle Manager...

Tap Water withdrawn!

OK, not really ;)

As a quick follow up to a post I made on March 1st I note that Coca-Cola have had to withdraw 500,000 bottles of Dasani from sale because of illegal levels of bromate in the water. The maximum safe level in the UK is 10 parts per billion (ppb), Dasani was found to have up to 22 ppb or potentially twice the mandated safe limit.

So they've taken tap water which has < 10 ppb bromate and made it potentially unsafe.

An official statement is on the Dasani GB homepage.

I expect it will now be very very difficult for them to relaunch this product in the UK as they've had two PR disasters in less than a month... Whoops!
