Perrier Faces Production Halt Recommendation from Agence régionale de santé Amid Viral Risk in Vergèze Water Quality Report
Dec 16, 2024, 10:18 AM
A recent report by the Agence régionale de santé d’Occitanie has raised serious concerns about the quality of natural mineral water sourced from the Perrier site in Vergèze, France. The report indicates a potential 'viral risk' associated with the water, prompting health authorities to recommend that Nestlé halt production at the site. This recommendation marks a significant escalation in scrutiny over Perrier's water quality, with reports highlighting known health risks that have been acknowledged by the government. The situation has drawn attention to broader issues within the bottled water industry, including allegations of collusion among major players in the sector. Nestlé has responded to the report, although specific details of their response were not disclosed.
