The Centre for Food Safety has urged retailers to stop selling three types of Jermuk mineral water products which contain excessive arsenic.
The products are labeled "Jermuk Original Sparkling Natural Mineral Water Fortified With Natural Gas From The Spring", "Jermuk Sodium Calcium Bicarbonate and Sulphate Mineral Water", and "Jermuk, Natural Mineral Water Sparkling".
The US Food & Drug Administration has issued a warning to consumers not to drink the products. The centre is contacting American authorities for more information and will monitor the situation.
