Common questions

Is Blue Spring Living Water Living Water healthy?

Blue Spring Living Water Living Water scores 91/100 on Tallow — our clean band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Does Blue Spring Living Water Living Water contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Blue Spring Living Water Living Water’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is Blue Spring Living Water Living Water?

Blue Spring Living Water Living Water has no NOVA group. Tallow works NOVA out from the ingredient list, and it does not apply to supplements or non-food products; a food whose ingredients are not all classified yet stays unknown instead of being guessed. Either way the processing axis scores it neutrally.

How does Blue Spring Living Water Living Water compare to other water?

At 91/100 Blue Spring Living Water Living Water sits in our top band, among the better water we have scored. A higher-scoring option in water is Great Value Purified Drinking Water at 100/100.

Blue Spring Living Water Living Water is not certified organic in our data.

Has Blue Spring Living Water Living Water been lab tested?

Yes. 122 substances in Blue Spring Living Water Living Water have a laboratory result on file — see the Contaminants section above for each reading and the limit it was measured against.

Does Blue Spring Living Water Living Water contain heavy metals?

Yes. A lab detected antimony at 2 ppb against a 6 ppb limit in Blue Spring Living Water Living Water. That reading is under its limit. It also tested for lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, nickel and thallium and found none above its detection limit. Each reading is in the Contaminants section above.

Does Blue Spring Living Water Living Water contain glyphosate?

No. A lab tested Blue Spring Living Water Living Water for glyphosate and found none above its detection limit.
