NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC
DRINKING WATER BRANDED “DEW”
Tanzania Bureau of Standards (TBS) has learnt
of information circulating through the internet on drinking water branded DEW
purported to be produced in Tanzania, which is claimed to have caused deaths
among consumers in Nigeria.
TBS would like to make it clear to the public
that this information is sheer hearsay and utter lie, as there is no drinking
water branded DEW that is being produced in
Tanzania.
For more than a month now, TBS inspectors
have been searching for the said water in the local market but in vain. We have
communicated with National Standards Bodies in the East African Community (EAC)
and the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and they have assured us
that they have not come across the supposed brand in their countries. We have
also contacted the Nigeria National Bureau of Standards for any clue on the
said drinking water purported to have been distributed in their market and they
have also refuted that claim.
All these efforts have confirmed the
circulating information as hearsay, aiming at disrupting Tanzania’s
international trade and corrupting the country’s reputation.
We appeal to all Tanzanian consumers to
ignore this information.
However, the government, through intelligence
methods, will search for the source of this fictitious information. Strong
legal measures will be taken against the perpetrator so as to prevent such
information in the future.
TBS would also like to take this opportunity
to urge the public to continue consuming water that has been certified by TBS.
Currently, the following 48 companies have
had their packed/bottled drinking water certified by TBS:
