Prague - Bottled water said to prevent bird flu has gone on sale in a Czech supermarket, a newspaper reported on Wednesday.

The water called Fromin Aktium comes in orange, lemon and grapefruit flavour and is made by Czech company Aquamat, regional daily Rovnost reported.

It is on sale at two outlets of the Hypernova supermarket chain owned by Netherlands-based Ahold.

"The drink is a prevention against all viral-type infections, therefore against bird flu as well," Aquamat manager Ivan Novotny told the paper.
