Consumer Watchdog Files Legal Complaint Against Nestle Over Mineral Water Treatment

Foodwatch accuses Nestle and Sources Alma of illegally treating mineral water, sparking a government investigation in France.

Foodwatch has filed a legal complaint against Nestle and Sources Alma for allegedly using prohibited purification techniques on mineral water.
A government probe revealed that about 30% of mineral water sold in France underwent treatments only allowed for tap water.
French law, based on EU directives, prohibits the purification of mineral water, which should be of naturally high quality.
French prosecutors have opened an investigation into suspected fraud by Nestle Waters following a complaint by France's health regulator.
Foodwatch has also contacted the European Commission, criticizing the French government's failure to report the issue.
