Does Bottled Water Have Fluoride? By Type and Brand

Fluoride by brand

Each figure below comes from the brand's own water quality report, linked in its cell, and describes that brand's own product. Figures from retailers, other bottlers or older industry lists are not used.

Dasani's 2025 report gives fluoride as “ND” in DASANI Purified Water, and Poland Spring's 2025 report gives up to 0.21 mg/L for its Spring Water. Products sold with fluoride added carry “Yes” in the last column, such as Arrowhead Drinking Water w/Fluoride, at 0.55 mg/L in Arrowhead's 2025 report.

Fluoride by bottled water type

CDC says bottled water labeled de-ionized, purified, demineralized or distilled contains no or only trace amounts of fluoride unless fluoride is listed as an added ingredient.

The table sets that statement beside what brands' own reports show for each label. The four labels in the CDC statement quoted above are de-ionized, purified, demineralized and distilled; the spring and artesian rows show brand reports only.

How to tell if fluoride was added

FDA limits fluoride in bottled water to which fluoride is added to 0.7 mg/L, and added fluoride must be declared in the ingredient list. FDA's rule took effect on June 19, 2022, with a compliance date for industry of October 17, 2022.

The limit covers bottled water to which fluoride is added. One spring water's report gives a fluoride figure while fluoride is not in its listed treatment steps: Arrowhead's 2025 report gives up to 1.1 mg/L for its Mountain Spring Water, and fluoride is not in the treatment steps that report lists for that water.

The brand table above links each brand's own report beside its figure.

Water without fluoride

This page calls no water fluoride-free. Poland Spring's 2025 report defines ND as “Not detected at or above the MRL”, the method reporting limit: in that report, ND is not a measured zero.

CDC groups bottled water labeled de-ionized, purified, demineralized or distilled as having no or only trace amounts of fluoride, unless fluoride is listed as an added ingredient. The products whose reports give fluoride as “ND” are in the brand table, each with the report its result comes from.

Which methods remove fluoride from tap water, and which do not, is set out on our removal page.

Does distilled water have fluoride?

CDC lists distilled water among the bottled waters with no or only trace amounts of fluoride, unless fluoride is listed as an added ingredient.

Pure Life's 2025 report gives fluoride as “ND” in Pure Life Distilled, and Smartwater's 2025 report gives it as “ND” in smartwater Vapor Distilled Purified Water.

Whether a home distiller removes fluoride from tap water is a separate question, covered with the other filter types.

Bottled water for baby formula

Pure Life Baby's 2025 report gives up to 0.52 mg/L for its Purified Water With Fluoride, and gives fluoride as “ND” in its Purified Water With Minerals.

Nursery's product page states that “Nursery® water contains a fluoride level of up to 0.7 ppm”. That is the manufacturer's own statement. Nursery's website offers its water quality report through a request form, so the brand table shows no figure for it. Nursery says it also provides a drinking water without added fluoride.

What health authorities say about fluoride and mixing infant formula is covered on our babies and formula page.
