I am grossed out that there is a water called "Western Beef".

Thanks for sharing. Am in a meeting where they're serving Niagra water and I just saved like 6 lives. You're welcome, co-workers.

Oh for fucks sake.

Just finished a case and DH bought another yesterday. Awesome. Will definitely be checking codes when we get home tonight. I assume this is my punishment for my singular attempts to kill the environment.

well played. I see what you did there...

[theholmanherd]

Omg so many damn recalls. I'll just keep using my home filter....

[boozeplease]

Niagra also bottles Albertson's brand and Raley's brand. I actually have a bottle of each. Which is weird as Albertson's are not up in nor cal lol. I got the Albertsons one when visiting my mom in so cal and we just haven't drank it yet. But, the rest of the case didn't cause illness nor did the case I bought up here. I'll check that link tho just to be safe. But I'd remember if I had e. coli lol. Thank you for sharing.

Lolol we have like 5 pallets of the niagara at my store. That'll be fun to get put up somewhere until they can send it back.

But was it Western Beef? This is important.

God no. Just regular old Niagara. Don't sell Western Beef here, at least this part of Texas, though god only knows why.

Color me not shocked that there is zero information of the recall on their website.

We were forwarded a letter one of our vendors received about this.

RE: Spring Water Products Recall Notification

Dear Niagara Customer,

On June 18th we were informed of a potential quality issue from one of our spring sources utilized for two of our bottling operations in the Northeast. Upon investigation of the issue, we have determined that there may be a microbiological issue with the source.

Our systems are designed to disinfect issues with source water contamination at the plant. We have not received any complaints of injury or illness of any kind. In an abundance of caution, however, Niagara Bottling is initiating a voluntary recall of the product. We have discontinued the use of this source and are continuing operations in order to quickly replace any product that you may have on hand.

The product in question is any spring water produced from our Hamburg or Allentown, PA facilities, from June 10th 2015 through June 18th 2015. As a private label manufacturer, this product may be in many different brand labels, but it will only be of the Spring Water variety. Purified drinking products or Purified with Minerals Added products are not affected.

The Best By codes on outer-wrap shrink-film for the affected cases would be in the range of:

H# BEST BY 08DEC2016 to H# BEST BY 16DEC2016

OR

A# BEST BY 08DEC2016 to A# BEST BY 16DEC2016

H# indicates the Hamburg plant and line number
A# indicates the Allentown plant and line number

Food safety and the quality of our products is our number one concern. Please feel free to contact me directly if I can answer any questions.

Sincerely,

Ryan Schwaner ([e-mail])
VP of Quality and Food Safety, Niagara Bottling, LLC.

Wegmans, noooo!

I don't see why people are complaining.. sounds like a great diet plan and/or a way to get some time off work to me.

LOL. I put my bottled water in the Camelbak!

Perfect. There's currently a water advisory in effect for part of our city - pregnant women and infants under 6 months are advised to use bottled water until further notice.

Probably safer to drink wine, right? Unless you live in India.

I think we may live in the same city. Our water treatment facility found high levels of nitrates from fertilizer runoff 2 weeks ago. I think the ban was lifted today.
