Bottled water fails inspection
<p>
<p>The quality of bottled drink-ing water in Shanghai is far from satisfactory,a recent citywide check by the muni-cipal Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision revealed.</p>
<p> More than 30percent of 114water products,inclu-ding "pure"water,mineral water and spring water,failed inspection.Most were products of small-and
medium-size enterprises,said bureau spokesman Ji Jian.</p>
<p> Earlier this year,the state bureau conducted a similar check nationwide,discover-ing that 25percent of water products were substandard.</p>
<p> The state bureau ordered Shanghai and other local bureaus to focus on the quality of water in 19-liter plastic barrels used with water coolers.</p>
<p> Ji said the substandard products uncovered in the local inspection exceeded the national standard for bacteria,mold and nitrite content and failed to reach the
standard for "purity."</p>
<p> "The substandard water may cause infection of the intestinal tract,"he said.</p>
<p> The 26substandard pro-ducts identified by the local bureau included Tianhe pure water produced by Shanghai Chuanzhong Pure Water Factory and Yulin pure drinking
water produced by Shanghai Yulin Drinking Water Co Ltd.</p>
