Not if the bottled water is kosher.  What puzzles me is that anyone would buy
any foodstuff that was not kosher.  Especially dairy and, God help us, a
chicken.  It's funny that we are one of the few developed nations where the
onus of the purity of our food is foisted onto the consumer rather than the
producer.  Now remember to wash your counter with bleach after preparing a
turkey for the oven and make sure to cook your burger until it is that
unnatural gray color through and through.
