San Pellegrino S. Pellegrino Sparkling Natural Mineral Water

Evidence and review

Source: Reddy A et al. JADA 2016;147(4):255-263 Table 1: pH 4.96 (SD 0.09); Accumet AR15, triplicate, 25°C; erosivity zone derived from pH per p257 thresholds. Published correction DOI 10.1016/j.adaj.2016.08.021 (pH 4.96; reclassified Minimally Erosive in Table 1). D17 (ALGORITHM_VERSION 51, 2026-08-19) MINERAL FLAGS, from the 2023 S.Pellegrino Water Analysis Report, Sanpellegrino S.p.A., https://www.sanpellegrino.com/us/sites/g/files/xknfdk2166/files/2024-09/SP_WA_EN_2023.pdf: calcium 164 mg/L, so hasCalcium TRUE. Fluoride 0.50 mg/L. D24 (ALGORITHM_VERSION 52, 2026-08-19) SUPERSEDES THE EARLIER D18 SENTENCE HERE, which read that 0.50 mg/L is below the 0.7 mg/L flag threshold and therefore hasFluoride FALSE: D23 WITHDREW that threshold, so 0.50 mg/L is now written into the fluorideMgL field, hasFluoride is TRUE, and the concentration earns 10 * sqrt(0.50/0.7) = 8.45 of the 10 fluoride points on the v39 dose curve. Phosphate/phosphorus is NOT LISTED in that report, so hasPhosphate is FALSE. Magnesium 46.4 mg/L is non-scoring (the magnesium term was removed at ALGORITHM_VERSION 34) and is deliberately not flagged. Total alkalinity 187 mg/L as CaCO3. BICARBONATE FLAG IS DERIVED, NOT PRINTED, AND NEEDS OWNER SIGN-OFF: NO OFFICIAL S.PELLEGRINO SOURCE STATES AN HCO3 VALUE. Four analyses were checked - 2023, 2022, 2021 and the 2016 Nestle Waters report - and every one of them gives TOTAL ALKALINITY AS CaCO3 ONLY. hasBicarbonate TRUE is therefore DERIVED from the published total alkalinity of 187 mg/L as CaCO3, and is NOT read off any printed HCO3 figure.
