Fiji Water has recalled over 1.9 mil­lion bot­tles of its nat­ur­al arte­sian water due to the dis­cov­ery of man­ganese and bac­te­r­i­al contamination. 

The recall affects over 78,000 cas­es sold on Ama­zon, with prod­ucts iden­ti­fied as hav­ing pro­ject­ed rota­tion dates between Novem­ber 11, 2023 and Novem­ber 25, 2023.

The FDA clas­si­fied the recall as a “class three” sit­u­a­tion, mean­ing the con­t­a­m­i­na­tion is “not like­ly to cause adverse health con­se­quences.” How­ev­er, Fiji Water has stressed that con­sumer safe­ty is their top pri­or­i­ty and they have tak­en swift action to address the issue.

Man­ganese is an essen­tial min­er­al, but at high lev­els can poten­tial­ly cause brain dam­age. The bac­te­r­i­al con­t­a­m­i­na­tion involved three unspec­i­fied genera.

Fiji Water stat­ed that 99% of the affect­ed bot­tles have already been reclaimed, with the remain­ing prod­ucts held in ware­hous­es to be returned.

The recall under­scores the impor­tance of rig­or­ous qual­i­ty con­trol in the bot­tled water indus­try. While Fiji Water main­tains the con­t­a­m­i­na­tion posed no seri­ous health risks, the inci­dent high­lights the need for vig­i­lance to ensure the safe­ty and puri­ty of con­sum­able products. 

The com­pa­ny has pledged to con­tin­ue its reg­u­lar test­ing to uphold the high stan­dards expect­ed of its brand.
