Evian Natural Spring Water, 750 mL glass

• The maker’s 2025 water quality report includes an NSF Laboratories test report (final report 20 February 2025, sampled 30 January 2025, tested to FDA’s bottled water rule, 21 CFR 165.110). It lists 18 PFAS, including PFOA, PFOS, PFHxS and PFNA, as not detected at a reporting limit of 2 ng/L, under the EPA’s 4 ng/L limit for PFOA and PFOS.
• The same report shows arsenic not detected, nitrate at 0.88 mg/L as N against a 10 mg/L limit, uranium at 0.002 mg/L against 0.03, and lead not detected.
• FDA’s 2023 to 2024 survey tested 14 Evian samples bought at US retail and imported from France. None had any of the 18 PFAS FDA tested for above its 0.23 to 0.32 ng/L reporting limits.
• Consumer Reports tested Evian in 2020 and did not name it among the two non-carbonated waters above its 1 ppt PFAS line.
• The source is named, and the label gives minerals: calcium 80, magnesium 26 and bicarbonate 360 mg/L, pH 7.2.

• The glass pack has no maker price and a patchy market. H-E-B’s Victoria, Texas store showed $3.18 for one bottle on 22 October 2026, about $38 for 12 at that price. Online we saw only third-party resellers: about $6.67 a bottle on Amazon (6 for $40) and about $14 a bottle for a “British import” 3-pack on Walmart.com.
• The NSF samples came from filling lines named “Line 4” (still) and “Line R” (sparkling). The report does not say which package they were filled into, so we cannot tie them to the glass bottle, and the report’s cover letter mentions the quality of its plastic bottles. Cap and liner materials are not stated. TFA, a very short PFAS, is in neither NSF’s panel nor FDA’s.
• The NSF report was commissioned by the maker, and Consumer Reports did not publish a value for Evian, only a list of what exceeded 1 ppt.
• 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.
