According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), ozone is generally recognized as safe for bottled water and food contact. But is ozonated distilled water safe to drink for daily consumption? This article will delve into the science behind the process and examine its potential benefits and risks to provide a comprehensive answer.

The key difference lies between highly toxic ozone gas, which should never be inhaled, and ozonated water, where ozone acts as a powerful, chemical-free disinfectant before reverting to oxygen.
