What is the difference between distilled bottle water and sterilized bottled water?
Distilled bottled water is not sterilized and certified sterile. While distillation eliminates impurities from water, the process does not ensure sterility of the end product. To qualify as sterilized bottled water, manufacturers must comply with strict regulatory standards. As with other ordinary bottled waters (ie., spring and mineral), distilled bottle water should be boiled prior to infant use to ensure sterility.
