Nestlé Waters has announced that it has replaced the microfiltration system used in the production of its Perrier natural mineral water after the previous filtration method was deemed non-compliant with French regulations. This move follows a regulatory scandal and fines imposed on Nestlé for using illegal water treatment processes. Despite the installation of the new filtration system, the historic Perrier plant in Vergèze remains under threat, with two wells suspended and ongoing uncertainty about the site's future. Nestlé has submitted a new application for mineral water exploitation as it seeks to secure Perrier's production. Additionally, there are broader concerns about water extraction practices in the bottled water industry, with a procedure targeting Danone's authorized water withdrawals at Volvic. Nestlé's corrective actions have brought its Perrier water treatment into regulatory compliance, but challenges remain regarding the operational status of the Vergèze facility.
