You might want to listen up, if you drink Dasani water. A major recall by the Coca-Cola Company has been issued, after it was discovered that several thousand bottles of their drinking water was contaminated with a parasite.

Until now several hundred people have been rushed to the hospital with parasitic symptoms such as vomiting, fever, rash and stomach bloating.

This comes as an addition to a recent report in which Coca-Cola admitted that the water they are selling – Dasani is in fact just a “purified” tap water.

In January Coca Cola admitted that their water brand was in fact purified tap water packed in a fancy looking bottle.

That's interesting and noteworthy. I've never drunk a bottle of Dasani in my life, and never will.

But I didn't understand the 'Did they do it on purpose?' question. Could you elaborate?

We know tha Coca Cola is one of the unhealthiest Drinks that exist. It provokes many health issues.
As it's obvious that they're not interested in their customer wellbeing, just asking.

IDK, snopes.com reports this as a false news story.

Origin:In April 2016, the web site News4KTLA published an article reporting that Coca-Cola had issued a recall on Dasani water products after a clear parasite was found in bottles across the United States:



If you purchase/drink Dasani water you might want to listen up. There has been a major recall by the Coca-Cola company today after several thousand bottles of their drinking water was found to be contaminated with a parasite. It has sent several hundred people to the hospital and is responsible for parasitic symptoms such as fever, rash, vomiting and stomach bloating.

Even though the majority of the impurities have admittedly been removed from Dasani water, and minerals added back in, these parasites have somehow worked their way into their supposedly “clean” water system which has been passed on to the consumer. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has shut down the manufacturing facility and issued a major recall on the brand. Do not drink this water! The FDA is recommending that if you have no choice but to consume the water, you MUST boil the water first to kill the parasite. Otherwise, it will host itself in your stomach lining and intestine and breed offsprings.

Coca-Cola did not issue a recall on Dasani products for any reason in April 2016. There was no truth to this article, which did not originate with a legitimate news web site. The story was a piece of clickbait fake news from News 4 KTLA, a fake news site that mimics the appearance of a local television news site. News 4 KTLA carries no "fiction" or "satire" disclaimer anywhere on the site and has a history of publishing fearmongering stories based on little or no factual evidence).

The site used an image of a Leptocephalus, a flat and transparent eel larva, which is not a parasite. The original image came from the Mie Prefecture Fisheries Research Institute:
eel larva

Water has been a huge news topic for several months now, thanks to issues such as Michigan's Flint water crisis and uranium contamination in California's Central Valley. If Coca-Cola really had issued a major recall after a parasite was discovered in "several thousand" bottles of Dasani water, leading to the hospitalization of "several hundred people," that even would have been widely covered in the media, not limited exclusively to the clickbait site News 4 KTLA.

Thak you Joeecho for clearing this up. very helpfull.

No problem.

I have been on the other side too so I know how one can get sucked into a narrative especially because, like the snopes article mentioned, there are a number recent articles in the media raising concerns about the fresh water supply.

I have heard that bottled water, in most cases, is nothing more then "purified" tap water. An example of marketing in overdrive.

You knew it was just a matter of time.....

Internal parasites don't usually...have eyeballs, or a mouth designed to grab at passing objects.

That's not saying that my local Coca-cola plant did not discharge products into a creek which killed all the fish. That did happen.

[Ernie Nemeth]

Dasani uses a duel filtering system of reverse osmosis plus UV irradiation to kill microbes smaller than the 20 micron limit of the primary filter. Off the top of my head, might want to check the actual numbers. (Did the fact check. Most systems now work to levels of thousandths of a micron, with double pass reverse osmosis. No way a worm could get through a filter like that. Unless the bottles or the capping process are corrupted.)

Is Dasani safe? I am never going to be convinced that our plant food is not compromised, there is now no such thing as 'clean food', except for the 1% whose food is under glasshousing. Chemtrails are the total poisoning of our eco-structure.

[Carmody]

I knew the dasani water was so clean, that it was leeching minerals OUT of your body when you drank it. There is no way, whatsoever, that any physical parasite could make it into a dasani bottle, except by pure malfeasance. The manufacturing method is such that no physical parasite could even make it past the first stage of manufacturing of the water, and there is more than one stage.

They recently, a few years back, added minerals in, possibly ....due to that reality (of body leeching).

I never liked that water. But then again, no soft drinks, no fruit juices, no power drinks, nothing in plastic.....

Vegetable and juices which are freshly made, no pasteurizing, no preservatives. Lately it's been a spinach/Kale/pineapple/orange mix. Very tasty, actually....

The only water I drink, and I drink one per day, on average, is carbonated water, like Perrier or San Pelegrino. in glass ONLY.

My preference is for boxes of 12 750mL glass bottle San Pelegrino, it being shaded and better handled, before I get to drinking it.

I remember Dasani's difficult UK birth back in the early 2000's.

Looks like this hoax is playing on a mixture of truth and lies.

This is a bit silly though.. Isn't it?

the source of the h20 is pretty pointless when R.O. Systems are used, the end state of the water is the same no matter the source at this level of filtration.

No, not really. It is about being sold an image............ And regardless of the process, as soon as people found out that it was tap water, the bubble burst.

Commercial history shows that is was far from silly for the Coca-Cola group.

From the outset there was controversy surrounding Dasani, not for the filtration but for the use of UV irradiation. Some claimed ill effects from the process.

Water is not just water, H2O is not just H2O. There is an energy in all living things that is passed on to water because of its unique properties, properties that we still do not understand entirely. Same goes for all kinds of food. The fresher, the more of this energy it possesses. H2O irradiated with Ultra-violet light kills off this energy, leaving behind a lifeless, stale, inert and dead chemical we otherwise call water. I'd rather go thirsty than drink that crap, it tastes horrible!

I mean silly to worry about the source.. ok, not silly; ignorant.


Yeah, they bottled **** that falls from the sky and sold it successfully around the world.... I have no issue with that (one single thing) at all, we bought it after all.... and in certain countries bottled water is the ONLY potable source (we used to give away HUNDREDS of PALLETS of water when I was deployed to Iraq to the local population... EVERY DAY... (a part our "hearts and minds" campaign... aka bribing the locals)).

I'd rather go thirsty than drink that crap, it tastes horrible!

I'm with you on that one, never bought a bottle and probably never will (Dasani.. I've drank plenty of other bottled waters).
