FDA 483 - Wassco Bottling Company - September 14, 2017

An FDA inspection of Wassco Bottling Company in Tulsa, OK, a bottled water manufacturer, revealed two significant issues related to bacteriological testing. The firm failed to conduct required bacteriological swab or rinse counts on containers and closures, and also did not perform weekly bacteriological testing on samples of bottled drinking water. These observations indicate a lack of critical quality control measures for bottled water safety.
