I've noticed a lot, most of the white hoses, now, do not have the little sticker saying approved for drinking water use.
Two of the ones we have are blue and lined with stainless fittings. Thy had a little or two of them stickers in this case silver colored around the hoses near the ends saying approved for fresh water drinking use or something.
We bought another one at a CW but it had aluminum ends resembling stainless, not lined, and showing "reinforcement" that the hose felt like wax. It is sitting in the basement to be used for something else or thrown away.
Beware of what CW sells - they don't care if things aren't listed/approved by a safety org. like NSF, ANSI, UL, CSA, etc.
