1. Look at the invoice
When choosing bottled water, the easiest way is to ask the water station for an invoice, so don't bother. The invoice can reflect whether the water station has formal business license, business license and other business qualifications, while the informal water station has no formal invoice.
2. Look at the water source
In addition to choosing products of big brands, it is more crucial to see whether the water source is a high-quality and pollution-free area. High-quality water is one of the key factors for qualified bottled water. When purchasing bottled water, we should pay attention to its water source, and it is best to choose those areas that are not polluted. Because the bottled water market is still very chaotic at present, some wholesale markets, small workshops and small vendors ignore the hygiene and safety of the details such as the business license of water stations, storage conditions and whether the delivery personnel are healthy, and don't be greedy for cheap when purchasing.
3. Look at the security code
Basically, there is a security code on each barrel of bottled water. It is suggested that after buying back bottled water, you can scrape off the coating of the security code or scan the QR code, and you can find out the production date, manufacturer address and other information of this barrel of water by telephone, website, SMS, etc.
It should be noted that the security code should be clear and complete in appearance, and each security code can only be queried once, and when queried again, it will be prompted that it has been queried.
4. Look at the color of the barrel
Some manufacturers will reuse some damaged and eliminated old drinking water barrels and process them into new barrels for recycling, or in order to reduce the cost, waste recycling materials are mixed in the production process, and water is filled in such barrels, so toxic and harmful substances in plastics can easily dissolve into drinking water, which is harmful to human health.
therefore, when choosing bottled water, we should also pay attention to distinguish the color of the barrel. The appearance of a regular bucket is transparent and smooth, and the bucket body is even and pure light blue or sky blue. If the color of the bucket is black or there are impurities on the bucket wall, it proves that it is a bucket made of recycled materials or garbage materials, which is extremely harmful to human body after long-term use. In addition, you can also hit an empty bucket with your fingers. The regular bucket sounds crisp, while the "black-hearted bucket" sounds dull.
5. Look at the seal
The heat-shrinkable film of inferior water seal is generally thin and dull, and some are made by blowing and drying with a hair dryer, which is not very tight and uneven, while the real water is the opposite.
6. Look at laser coding
Many large brands of bottled water have laser coding at the mouth of the barrel, which is made by laser puncture. As long as the lid of the plastic packaging film is torn open, you can see the same words in the light, and your hands can touch its concave and convex feeling, which is impossible for fake water to make.
7. Look at the lid
The lid of real water is pure in color and has a strong sense of luster. Usually, there will be an arc indentation tear, which can be torn along the line with a little force. The color of the lid of the fake water is dark, which gives people the first impression that it is made of recycled materials and it is difficult to tear it open.
2. Tips for purchasing bottled water
1. Look at the appearance of bottled water
From the appearance of the packaging barrel, whether the transparency and smoothness of the barrel are good, whether the color of the barrel is pure, whether the sound of the empty barrel of drinking water is crisp after being knocked by hand, whether there are other peculiar smells and plastic smells in the empty barrel, etc. If the color of the packaging barrel is dark, even black or there is peculiar smell in the barrel, it means that the packaging barrel is no longer in conformity.
in addition to a clean and tidy appearance, whether the trademark name, manufacturer's name, address, product standard number, shelf life and contact telephone number on the barrel body are formal and complete (generally, regular manufacturers should be approved by the quality management department and printed in accordance with the "National Food Labeling Regulations"), whether the sealing film is tightly packaged, whether it falls off or slackens, and whether the label on the top of the lid has the production date.
2. Whether the seal is tight
(1) To check whether the lid of the bottled water is tightly sealed, you can turn the bottled water upside down and check whether there is any leakage or water leakage at the seal. If there is leakage or water leakage when the bucket is turned upside down, it means that this bucket of water has been polluted for the second time, which does not meet the requirements of food hygiene standards and cannot be drunk any more.
(2) After the bottled water is installed on the drinking machine, whether there is a small white cover or a plastic sheet falling from the inside of the cover floating in the bucket, if these phenomena occur, they are all caused by the poor quality of the cover, which can not play the sealing role and requirements at all, so it leads to leakage and water leakage, and finally causes secondary pollution of drinking water in the bucket. Please pay special attention to consumers.
3. To understand the basic situation of the waterworks
(1) First of all, we should understand the legitimacy of the bottled water production enterprises, such as the "business license" issued by the industrial and commercial administration department, the "hygiene license" issued by the health and epidemic prevention department and the "quasi-production certificate" issued by the cold drink food office of this Municipality, as well as the results or reports of the quality inspection of its products by the quality inspection department. Moreover, attention should be paid to the publication of the results of spot checks on the quality of its products by the quality and technical supervision department of this Municipality every year.
(2) It is necessary to know the production environment, raw material sources, production equipment and hardware conditions, production technical support and product quality assurance system of the enterprise (if possible, you can visit its waterworks for comparison).
(3) ask the enterprise for some relevant information that can prove its production technology and product quality.
4. Understand its product distribution and related service items and commitments
(1) Factory direct delivery: whether the bottled drinking water you choose is directly delivered to you by the manufacturer or a chain branch directly under the manufacturer, whether the clothes of the water delivery personnel are uniform and tidy, and whether the bill used by the other party is consistent with the name of the manufacturer when you sign for bottled water or accept its service.
(2) agent delivery: if you want an agent to deliver water services to you (that is, a street shop), you must pay attention to its legal identity, and check whether it has the authorization of the manufacturer (if necessary, you can contact the manufacturer for verification), whether it guarantees your interests, and what to use as a guarantee.
(3) Does the manufacturer have a professional maintenance service department and maintenance service personnel? When your water dispenser breaks down or requires cleaning service, is it as timely and warm and thoughtful as the water delivery service for you? Because timely maintenance and cleaning of the water dispenser is very important for your healthy drinking water.
