  • Sparkling and flavored waters often show higher PFAS due to carbonation and flavor processing.
ADVICE

Avoid Topo Chico For PFAS Risk

  • Avoid Topo Chico due to high PFAS (9.76 ppt) and a 2025 recall for contamination.
  • Glass bottles help but plasticized caps can still leach chemicals under heat.
ADVICE

Skip Polar Seltzer Without Transparency

  • Avoid Polar Seltzer; it tested at 6.4 ppt PFAS and sources in PFAS-positive New England areas.
  • Lack of remediation plans and transparency are red flags to steer clear.
