In application of theArticle R. 1322-44-10 of the Public Health Code, Article 10 of the above-mentioned Order of 14 March 2007 is supplemented by a paragraph written as follows:
"The labelling of natural mineral water and source water that has been the subject of fluoride disposal treatment includes, near the indication of analytical composition, the mention: "water subject to an authorized absorption technique". »
Annexes I, III and IV to the above-mentioned Order of 14 March 2007 are amended as follows:
1° In Table A "Microbiological Quality Limits" of Appendix I, in the column "Notes", the lines: "In the course of marketing, the total content can only result from the normal evolution of its content to the emergence, the analyses to be started at least within twelve hours after the conditioning" and "In the course of marketing, the analyses to be started within twelve hours following the conditioning;" are replaced »
2° Table B-1 "Physico-chemical quality limits of natural mineral water conditioned or distributed as a public bush" in Appendix I is replaced by the table in Appendix I to this Order.
3° Table B-2 "Physico-chemical quality limits for source water and water made safe by conditioned treatment" and Table B-3 has "Chemical and organoleptic parameters" in Appendix I are amended as follows:
In the "Units" column, the references "Mg/l" are replaced by the references "mg/l".
4° In the table in Appendix III "Disclaimer of the Conditioned Natural Mineral Water", it is inserted after the "Sodic" line the following line:
| "Suitable for a low sodium diet." | Sodium content below 20 mg/l (in Na+). |
Natural mineral water conditioned and distributed in public buvette and conditioned source water that does not meet the requirements of Article 1 and 4 of this Order may be marketed for a period of twelve months.
The Director General of Competition, Consumption and Suppression of Frauds and the Director General of Health are responsible for the execution of this Order, which will be published in the Official Journal of the French Republic.
