Dasani Purified Water - 24pk/16.9 fl oz Bottles
Analysis updated September 2026 · How Scout scores
At a glance
Summary
Dasani Purified Water is processed through reverse osmosis, which is a significant level of processing compared to natural spring or aquifer sources. The addition of minerals like magnesium sulfate and potassium chloride is intended to enhance taste but does not contribute to the purity associated with natural sources. The use of municipal water as a source incurs a penalty, and the packaging may pose a microplastic risk, affecting the overall score.

Magnesium sulfate is added to enhance the taste and provide a source of magnesium. It is generally recognized as safe in small amounts used in bottled water. However, the concentration is typically too low to offer significant health benefits.
Risks
Excessive intake can lead to digestive issues, but the amounts in bottled water are minimal.
Benefits
Provides a trace amount of magnesium, which is essential for muscle and nerve function.
Potassium ChlorideNeutral
Potassium chloride is used to improve taste and provide a source of potassium. It is a common additive in bottled water to mimic the mineral content of natural water sources. The levels present are not sufficient to significantly impact dietary potassium intake.
Risks
High doses can affect heart function, but the levels in bottled water are safe.
Benefits
Contributes a small amount of potassium, important for maintaining electrolyte balance.
SaltNeutral
Salt is added in trace amounts to enhance flavor and mimic the mineral profile of natural waters. It is processed to remove impurities and is safe in the small quantities used in bottled water. The addition is primarily for taste rather than nutritional benefit.
