Giant Eagle announced Tuesday that the company is pulling bottles of spring water sourced from a facility near East Palestine from store shelves out of an abundance of caution; the company said there is no evidence the water was impacted by the Feb. 3 train derailment.
Giant Eagle has learned that the water used in this facility comes from a protected spring that is at a higher elevation than East Palestine and is not near water sources impacted by the Norfolk Southern train derailment. “As we continue to receive these assurances from our Salineville water vendor, we also recognize that regional and national health officials continue to send resources to East Palestine to learn as much as possible about the potential impact to the health of the community,” Giant Eagle representatives stated in the news release.
