The Ministry of Health and Wellness has escalated public health concerns by issuing a formal advisory against numerous commercially available water products falsely marketed as deionized or distilled. Recent comprehensive evaluations conducted by the Ministry have uncovered that several products bearing these labels critically fail to meet established health and safety benchmarks.
Official assessments indicate these non-compliant products pose potential health risks for both domestic consumption and clinical applications. Consequently, the Ministry is urgently advising consumers to strictly adhere to the usage purposes explicitly stated on product labeling, emphatically warning against their utilization for drinking, cooking, or personal hygiene.
In a significant directive to healthcare providers, the Ministry specifically alerted medical facilities and clinical institutions that these substandard products are deemed unsuitable for sterilization, wound care, or any medical procedures due to unverifiable quality assurance. The safety profile of these products for healthcare environments cannot be guaranteed, potentially compromising patient safety and clinical outcomes.
The Ministry has activated additional channels for public assistance, directing concerned citizens and medical professionals to contact the Environmental Health Department directly at 536-3854 or 536-3855 for further clarification and guidance regarding product safety verification.
