Four brands—Aqua Qismat, Vivo Water, Ruyaal Silver, and Smart—were deemed unsafe due to elevated levels of sodium. Three brands—Still, Starlite Water, and Premium Safa Purified—contained arsenic levels higher than the permissible limit. Additionally, Smart Pure Life was found to have unsafe levels of potassium.

PCRWR said that the general public is encouraged to look at the detailed report to know about the status of the water quality of bottled water brands they consume.

PCRWR regularly checks and monitors bottled/mineral water brands and publicizes the results for awareness of public health on a quarterly basis.
