Common questions

What is in Flow Alkaline Spring Water Carton?

Flow Alkaline Spring Water Carton lists 7 ingredients, starting with Bromide, Chloride, Sulfate, Calcium and Magnesium. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Flow Alkaline Spring Water Carton contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Flow Alkaline Spring Water Carton’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 Flow Alkaline Spring Water Carton?

Flow Alkaline Spring Water Carton is NOVA group 1: unprocessed or minimally processed. NOVA runs 1 to 4, where 1 is whole food and 4 is ultra-processed.

How does Flow Alkaline Spring Water Carton compare to other water?

We haven't scored Flow Alkaline Spring Water Carton yet, so there's nothing to compare it against in water.

Is Flow Alkaline Spring Water Carton organic?

Flow Alkaline Spring Water Carton is not certified organic in our data.

Has Flow Alkaline Spring Water Carton been lab tested?

Yes. 270 substances in Flow Alkaline Spring Water Carton have a laboratory result on file — see the Contaminants section above for each reading and the limit it was measured against.

Does Flow Alkaline Spring Water Carton contain heavy metals?

Yes. A lab detected nickel at 2 ppb against a 100 ppb limit in Flow Alkaline Spring Water Carton. That reading is under its limit. It also tested for lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, antimony and thallium and found none above its detection limit. Each reading is in the Contaminants section above.

Does Flow Alkaline Spring Water Carton contain glyphosate?

No. A lab tested Flow Alkaline Spring Water Carton for glyphosate and found none above its detection limit.

Does Flow Alkaline Spring Water Carton contain phthalates?

No. A lab tested Flow Alkaline Spring Water Carton for 6 phthalates, including di-n-octyl phthalate, diethylphthalate and dimethylphthalate, and found none above its detection limit.
