Volvic's own 500ml page lists slightly different figures (Ca 13, Mg 9, HCO3 80, K 7, Si 31, Cl 16, NO3 7.7). The 1.5L/1L page used because it also gives dry residue and pH.
How it stands out
- Sodium is 12 mg/L, under the 20 mg/L level the UK/EU uses for “suitable for a low-sodium diet” on natural mineral water labels.
