The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recently announced a recall of nearly 1.9 million bottles of Fiji water shipped via Amazon to North Dakota and the rest of the Nation.

The recall was initiated by the producer, Natural Waters of Viti Limited, due to various issues found in the product.

The announcement from the FDA stated that Fiji Natural Artesian Water, produced by Natural Waters of Viti Limited, is being voluntarily recalled due to the presence of manganese and three bacterial genera. The affected water was sold to customers through online retailers such as Amazon.com.

The recall involves over 78,000 cases of the bottled water, with each case containing 24 bottles. This equals approximately 1,884,792 individual bottles being impacted by the recall. The specific production dates of the affected water bottles are November 11, 12, 13, 24, and 25 of 2023, and the cases can be identified by the UPC code 6 32565 00004 3 and the bottle UPC code 6 32565 00001 2.
