Shanghai Consumer Protection Commission tests "baby drinking water"

: All are "commercial" gimmicks

Recently, some "baby water" that claims to be more suitable for infants to drink in terms of mineral elements and content and sterility have become popular in the market

on baby organs.
At the same capacity, "baby water" costs 3-4 times more
than ordinary drinking water.

The Shanghai Municipal Consumer Protection Commission purchased several drinking water
labeled "suitable for infants and young children".
After testing, it was found that there was no significant difference in composition and content between
it and ordinary drinking water.
A nutrition expert said in an interview that in addition to infant formula, most of the other foods that are nominally "suitable for infants and young children" are commercial "gimmicks"
