Dubai: Dubai Media Office (DMO) confirmed that Aab’e Dubai Water, which some posts on social media claimed contains bacteria, is not packaged or produced in Dubai.

DMO tweeted that Aab’e Dubai has nothing to do with Mai Dubai, and reaffirmed that specialised authorities are committed to best practices and international standards when it comes to such products.

In a statement, Mai Dubai, the bottled-drinking-water company and factory,said yesterday that a report was being passed around regarding an Omani Ministry withdrawing from the Omani market a product that is called Aab’e Dubai, stating that it was produced in Dubai. Mai Dubai would like to clarify that this report does not relate to Mai Dubai and relates to Aab’e, which is produced in Ajman. Mai Dubai produces high-quality bottled-drinking water and the similarity in the names created some misunderstanding.
