of Coliforms
Concord, NH - July 12, 2002 -- The New Hampshire Department of Health &
Human Services' Bureau of Food Protection has ordered the recall of Granite
State Artesian bottled water due to the presence of coliforms found in water
samples tested this week. Coliforms are rod-shaped bacteria that can cause illness
in humans.
The bottled water, produced by Turner's Dairy in Salem, NH, is distributed
in Massachusetts and in nine New Hampshire stores located in Nashua, Manchester,
Pelham, Salem, and East Derry. All stores have been notified to remove the water
from their shelves.
People who have bottles of Granite State Artesian water at home or work are
asked to return the bottled water to the store where it was purchased.
Those individuals who have questions about this recall or about coliforms can
call the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services at 800-852-3345.
