Bottle And Sachet Water With Expiry Dates, get more knowledge by kloppzy(m): 6:51am On Jul 15, 2017
Here are some reasonable answers

Water doesn't go bad. Having
a freshness date on a bottle of water makes
about as much sense as having an
expiration date on sugar or salt.
There are several reasons why water
bottles come with an expiration date. The
main one is government bureaucracy:
Water is a consumable food product, and as
such, it is subject to laws requiring
expiration dates on all consumables, from
bologna to lemonade.
Besides that, the expiration date on bottled
water has certain benefits for the
manufacturer.
Although water, in and of itself, does not go
bad, the plastic bottle it is contained in
does "expire," and will eventually start
leaching chemicals into the water. This
won't necessarily render the water toxic,
but it might make it taste somewhat less
than "mountain spring fresh." If consumers
contact drink companies to complain that
water they bought several years earlier
tastes bad, the bottlers can point out that
it's their own fault for not drinking it by the
expiration date.
Furthermore, many companies bottle water
using the same machines they use to bottle
sodas and other beverages which do expire
and should carry an expiration date. It's
easier and more efficient to simply put a
stamp on all the bottles (whether needed
or not) rather than dedicating a special
machine just for bottled water.
Finally, expiration dates are usually only
one element of a printed code that also
identifies the date, bottling plant, and other
information. Even though the expiration
date itself is meaningless in terms of water
going bad, the manufacturing information
could be useful in tracking down
contamination, bottling errors or product
recalls.

Now you should know water can never expire, the expiry dates is meant for the nylon and bottle and not the water.

Is there anything without expiry less speak of substances going into the body system?

And you don't think the chemical composition of the nylon and bottles could diffuse into the water when they expire?

Nope.water can't expire nah. Although it can be unfit for consumption under certain conditions. Lemme ask you:would you still drink bottled water that has been stored for lyk six month? I'm sure you wouldn't want to try it,huh?
