Is it acceptable to add punch or tea to a bottle of water that could be served to a passenger?

Adding punch or tea to a bottle of water that is intended for passenger service is not acceptable because it compromises safety and hygiene protocols in food and beverage service. Water bottles should be sealed and contain only water to ensure that passengers receive a product that is safe and uncontaminated. Mixing in other beverages, such as punch or tea, can introduce allergens or ingredients that could negatively affect passengers with dietary restrictions or sensitivities.

Moreover, standardized practices dictate that each beverage item should be clearly identified, and passengers must have the option to choose what they drink without ambiguity. Maintaining the integrity of the water supply means ensuring that each beverage is separately packaged and served. This aligns with industry regulations designed to protect public health and ensure a consistent level of service across all classes of passengers.
