At a glance
Summary
Dasani Purified Water is made from municipal water, which incurs a penalty due to its less desirable source compared to natural spring or aquifer water. The product includes added minerals like magnesium sulfate and potassium chloride, which are not harmful but indicate a level of processing beyond simple purification. Additionally, the brand's association with significant environmental concerns and plastic pollution impacts the overall score negatively.
