Celtic Pure blames mechanical fault on arsenic recall

Irish bottled water brand Celtic Pure has said that a mechanical fault at its plant was to blame for the increased levels of arsenic in shipped water products, which led to a recall by BWG and later by the Food Safety Authority, The Irish Times reports.

The recall of several batches of bottled water due to increased levels of arsenic detected therein was a precautionary measure, Celtic Pure has said, and that the matter has been fully resolved following a Food Safety Authority warning.
The level of arsenic – a naturally occurring element within spring water that can be harmful to humans in high doses – was above regulatory levels due to a mechanical failure on a filtration device at one of its plants, the Monaghan-based spring water company has said. The breach first came to light last week when BWG issued an internal recall, which was widened when the Food Safety Authority issued a public notice about water brands shipped to Lidl, Aldi, Dunnes Stores and Applegreen, among others. Celtic Pure is the supplier of some own-brand water products sold in these chains.
