Getting properly informed and knowing how to read product labels is the first step towards informed purchase: not just snacks, snacks and canned goods, but all packaged foods must in fact by law report information relating to the place and method of production, storage and any expiration times. And water? Like other packaged products, the mineral water we buy in bottles also has a date on the label, but what does it really indicate?
The date we find on plastic or glass bottles should not mislead us: those numbers do not indicate the “expiry date” of the water but rather the period of time within which it is preferable to consume it, the so-called “Minimum shelf life”. What changes? The acronym TMC allows us to know the date within which, if stored correctly, the water maintains all its organoleptic characteristics intact: our attention should not be focused on the water, but on the bottles that can deteriorate, especially the plastic ones, recognizable by the acronym PET.
