Crickets in Water and Nobody Told You?
Like any other products, water gets recalled, but more often than not you don't hear much about it.
There have been more than 100 recalls of contaminated bottled water, often months after the products were delivered to store shelves, says Dr. Gleick, who worries that the public rarely gets the memo.
What sorts of contaminants have been found in bottled water?
Benzene, mold, sodium hydroxide, kerosene, styrene, algae, yeast, tetrahydrofuran, sand, fecal coliform and other bacteria, elevated chlorine, glass particles, sanitizer, and crickets, says Gleick.
Yes, crickets.
