The UK soft drinks market grew overall by 1.7 per cent in 2009, according to figures in the British Soft Drinks Association¶s 2010 UK

Bottled water consumption rose by 1.7 per cent to 2,090 million litres, or 33.9 litres per person.Carbonates built on their growth in 2008 with further growth in 2009 of 2.2 per cent, to 6,065

ottled water

The soft drinks industry provides consumers with choice based on grounds of taste, price and convenience. Bottled water is not a

replacement for tap water but an alternative that consumers might like to choose on some occasions.

There are three main types of bottled waters as defined in the Natural Mineral Water, Spring Water and Bottled Drinking Water

Regulations 2007. Only products which meet the specifications within these regulations may use one of these terms.

Natural mineral water

Natural mineral waters are one of the most popular types of bottled water. They must come from a protected source and by law may

not undergo any treatment except filtration to remove sand particles or the addition of carbon dioxide to create a sparkling product.

Therefore what goes into the bottle is the same as what comes out of the ground.

All natural mineral waters have a mineral analysis on the label so that consumers can know exactly what they are drinking.Natural

mineral waters must be officially recognised through a local authority after a qualifying period of two years, during which time it is

repeatedly analysed. It must also be registered with the Food Standards Agency (FSA). A list of UK natural mineral water

companies is available on the FSA website.

Spring water

Spring waters can come from a single non-polluted ground water source. Unlike natural mineral waters, spring waters may undergo

permitted treatments in order to meet the microbiological criteria and to comply with standards based on the Drinking Water

Regulations. Unlike natural mineral waters there is no formal recognition process required for spring water although they must still

be registered with the local authority.

Table water

Table water applies to bottled water which may come from more than one source and may include the public water supply.

Treatment is permitted which results in the water achieving the compositional or microbiological requirements of the regulations.Some companies may also add mineral salts to their waters to replace those minerals lost during treatments or to enhance those

which already exist.
