Does Bottled Water Go Bad Over Time?
In short, no, bottled water doesn’t “go bad.” In fact, the FDA doesn’t even require expiration dates on water bottles. Although water itself doesn’t expire, the bottle it comes in can expire, in a sense. Over time, when exposed to excessive heat, chemicals from the plastic bottle can begin to leak into the water it holds. And when you drink that water, chemicals like BPA can make their way into your system and may have severe health implications. That’s why it’s important to drink water from BPA-free bottles.
