A shipment of NZ Miracle Water has been sent back to New Zealand from China, due to its levels of nitrite being too high to be classed as spring or artesian.
Whilst the NZ market requires that the maximum level of nitrite must be 0.2mg per litre, under the Chinese law it must contain only 0.005mg per litre, a HBay Water spokesperson explained. Bottled spring or artesian water being sent to China also needs to be filtered, regardless of how pure it may be at the source.
The company assured it was just a temporary mishap that correct testing will fix from now on.
