Higher temperatures mean that people ingest more fluids, and one of the most recommended by health experts is water. See some care when buying:
- When purchasing bottled water is necessary to pay attention to where the packages are placed and reject those that are close to heated places such as plates, electric ovens, or exposed to the sun as heat promotes algae growth that modify the coloring water making it unfit for consumption;
- Containers that are near products that exude strong smell, should also not be accepted by consumers because the plastic absorbs odors that can contaminate water. Make sure that the seal is not broken or even absent;
- The water purchase street at traffic lights, streets, parks and tolls should be avoided, because in addition to being in the sunlight, most do not have label and seal, leading to the belief which has not undergone analysis and inspection of the competent supervisory body;
- The label must contain clear, accurate and in Portuguese on: the amount; composition; price; date of manufacture and expiry; origin and identification of the manufacturer or importer. The package should still bring distributor data, as well as identifying the source, registration number in the Ministry of Health and the date of potting.
