FTC warns House Foods over mislabeled bottled water

TOKYO —

The Fair Trade Commission warned House Foods Corp Tuesday that bottled water the company sold under the “Rokko no Oishi Mizu” brand violates the labeling law.

The product’s label is misleading because the water does not contain minerals from granite as the company claims, the antitrust regulator said. House Foods changed the label in January, the company said.

    Yes, nothing, because it is not yet implemented.

    How is that different from Dasani water, marketed by Coca-cola, that despite all the fancy advertising of it as premium water, turned out to be filtered tap water?
