Question

The EPA is responsible for regulating bottled water products.


Group startsTrue or False

Answer 1

True. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates bottled water products, primarily under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) but the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is the agency that primarily oversees bottled water as a food product. However, the EPA is responsible for setting and enforcing standards for drinking water, which can extend to sources used for bottled water in some contexts. So, your statement is partially correct, but the FDA plays a more direct regulatory role for bottled water products.
