Use this nutritional comparison chart the next time you go grab a thirst-quenching low-cal drink, and you'll be better informed about what selection to make. I've pitted the biggest brands against one another to see how they deliver in the nutrients and low-cal department. Labels can often be confusing, so hopefully this chart will help!
Attention Metromint fans, the Soma Beverage Company — makers of Metromint — are recalling all bottles of Metromint flavors Peppermint, Spearmint, Orangemint, and Lemonmint that have a best before stamp of 2008/12/21 and were produced at its California facility (letters KSA located in the lower right-hand corner).
Why the recall? Turns out the bottles may be contaminated with Bacillus cereus, a type of food poisoning. If you've got your mitts on a recalled bottle return it to the place where you purchased it, and don't drink it as it could cause a wide range of symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and vomiting.
Uh oh, sounds like someone's got a PR nightmare on their hands. The water is normally pretty refreshing; it's bottled water with a splash of minty freshness. The company is pretty young and is still building a fan base. I hope this recall doesn't set them back too far.
If you're concerned and would like to speak with someone, Soma Beverage can be contacted at 415-979-0781, ext. 101.
Some people can't get enough of fruit flavored water. So what about mint flavored water?
Metromint is the latest and greatest in the water world. This water is filtered, then fresh mint (grown in Washington’s Yakima Valley) is added. That’s it. No sweeteners. No calories. No pesticides. Nothing but all-natural ingredients. That is refreshing!
Metromint’s all-natural combination of pure water and fresh mint hydrates you and your tired muscles. It also freshens your breath, settles your stomach and relaxes your mind. It's no wonder the design is so sleek, Rio Miura, a Japanese fashion designer, along with Scott Lowe created Metromint. Right now there are two flavors: spearmint and peppermint so look for it in your local grocery store or buy a case (24 bottles for $48) online from Metromint's site. Keep a look out because Metromint is announcing two new varieties at the Fancy Food Show (San Francisco) in January.
