H2Oh? Zam Zam water, what you should know.
In July 2010, the Food Standards Agency(FSA) stated that “In the absence of any authoritative data on the composition of genuine Zam Zam water it is not possible for UK Authorities to confirm whether water purchased in the UK or brought into the UK as a personal import is genuine Zam Zam water or not.”
Zam Zam water first came to the media spotlight in 2005, following Muslim community representatives who attended the FSA’s Muslim Organisation’s Working Group over concerns of Zam Zam water increasingly being found on sale and that it may be fake. The water was tested and failed to meet UK legislation for Arsenic levels which were found to be twice the levels permitted. The FSA contacted the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia Office of the Commercial Attache in London who issued a letter to state that “Zam Zam water is listed by Saudi Customs amongst the prohibited commodities for export. It is also not allowed to officially trade in Zam Zam water within or outside the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.” In October 2005, the FSA issued a media release alerting consumers not to drink this water due to the health risk posed of cancer and instructed Port Health authorities and local council’s Environmental Health and Trading Standard Departments to check for this dubious water on sale and take appropriate action.
