Coca-Cola has announced a voluntary recall for certain 16.9-ounce glass bottles of Topo Chico Mineral Water sold at Costco and Sam’s Club locations in Arizona, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, and Texas due to possible contamination with Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria.
See also: A Pseudomonas infection is an illness that you get from strains (types) of Pseudomonas bacteria. Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) is the most common type that causes infections in people. P. aeruginosa most commonly exists in the environment, like in water, plants and soil. But it also appears in moist or wet areas, like bathtubs or sinks. You may also have it on your skin, but it may not cause an infection. Healthcare experts sometimes call this bacterial colonization.
A Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection can be challenging to get rid of. The bacteria have evolved (changed in response to treatments), so certain antibiotics that would typically treat the condition no longer work (antibiotic resistance).
Topo Chico Mineral Water. Just another way for the Mexicans to get rid of their Sewer Water.
Huh. I always thought the label said Topo Gigio.
I have NEVER heard of that brand in my life.
“Topo” is the real Italian word for Mouse.
not a good place to start…
Who had the stupid idea to name a water sold in the USA with a hispanic name, knowing the old saying “When you go down south DON’T DRINK THE WATER!”.
Not unless you want to get Montezuma’s revenge.
Heh, enough irony to make an anvil.
Never heard of it, damn sure never had it.
Never had Perrier either but have heard of it.
They brewed beer to kill the nasties in the water, that’s the way I drink water.
This place is kinda famous, people make a trip just to get the water and bring it home.
Interesting story, look it up.

There is a spring like that just north of Frederick, MD where people line up to fill their jugs. It’s in the side of a cliff on a hill off Hamburg Rd. Supposedly it is checked for purity regularly and always passes the tests.
