    You might want to go find out exactly what temperature this reaction occurs at. I really doubt it is at room temperatures... or the kind of temperatures that occur in shipment. Even in Texas (a suburb of Satan's abode, LOL!) Most of the warning I've seen on the subject involve plastics used for food packaging that folks have reused to heat food in a microwave. That implies the temperatures this reaction would occur at is far above what is encountered for bottled water in shipment. The stuff just doesn't leach out into the product the plastic bottle contains.

    ...and this is what is said in the reference that Skibum posted.

    I used to haul water out of Poland Springs in Maine and into NYC. Most of the stops were in Brooklyn and Queens. Dry Vans were used.

    Just curious, what did you think hauled bottled water?

    One trip to Smithfield is enough to question your relationship with bacon, but of course I can't stay mad at you bacon.
