Don't know if this effect anyone but the mineral content of Tesco Ashbeck has changed. Mainly an increase in Bicarb and PH but Mg has gone up slightly as well as sulfate, chloride and calcium.

Just to note the 2L bottles still seem to have the older mineral content.
I'd imagine that the way it works is that the label has to report an average of readings taken throughout the previous year or something, and the heatwave skewed things enough that it was different to usual. It's not really material in any case.

I'm more worried about the new "handles" on the 5l bottles. They're a piece of foam taped on the side and they're pants, one didn't last between my front door and the kitchen. So if you've got any of the old bottles, or at least the old tops, you might want to hang onto them.
