Acqua Panna Natural Spring Water, 750 mL glass

• FDA’s 2023 to 2024 survey (results posted March 2025) tested six Acqua Panna samples bought at US retail and imported from Italy (sample IDs 1153663, 1188964, 1202237, 1219075, 1234311 and 1238425). None had any of the 18 PFAS FDA tested for above the lab’s reporting limits of 0.23 to 0.32 ng/L.
• Vermont’s list of bottlers with non-detect PFAS results includes Acqua Panna SpA, with a sample dated 21 March 2019. The results were submitted by the company.
• The source is named: a spring on the Panna Estate near Florence, with water that the maker says takes an average of 14 years to travel through rock.
• The maker links a 2025 water analysis report from its US site and shows a short mineral summary: calcium 33, alkalinity 87, fluoride not detected, total dissolved solids 150 mg/L, pH 8 at the source.

• We could not read the maker’s full report. Acquapanna.com blocks automated fetches, so we could not read the 2025 PDF and have not seen its PFAS, arsenic and nitrate rows. The product page shows only the five values above.
• Two Italian tests found trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), a very short-chain PFAS, in Panna sold in Italy. Greenpeace Italia (9 October 2025) bought 16 bottles of eight brands at one Rome supermarket, sent them to two labs and reported TFA in six brands, with Panna highest at 700 ng/L in one sample and no other PFAS found. Altroconsumo (21 May 2025) rated Panna insufficient for TFA above 0.5 µg/L, the EU’s total-PFAS drinking-water level from 2026. The industry body Mineracqua answered that no legal limit for TFA exists and that mineral waters carry less TFA than tap water. FDA’s PFAS panel does not include TFA, and Altroconsumo noted that the EU has no limit for TFA itself. The EPA has none either.
• The maker publishes no price, and we found no normal retail price for the glass pack, only third-party resellers at about $4.05 to $4.67 a bottle. The maker does not state its cap and liner materials.
• Glass is not plastic-free. A 2025 study by France’s food-safety agency (ANSES) found 4.5 plastic particles per liter in water bottled in glass, against 1.6 in plastic bottles and cartons, and says they probably came from the paint on metal caps. ANSES calls the water counts relatively low whatever the container and cannot say what they mean for health.
