Overview

• On July 10, 2025, DGCCRF’s Service National d’Enquête and OCLAESP agents executed a search warrant at Nestlé France’s Issy-les-Moulineaux headquarters.
• The raid stems from a February 2025 public health investigation by the Paris judicial court examining unauthorized purification methods.
• Foodwatch filed its complaint in September 2024, accusing Nestlé and Nestlé Waters of misleading consumers about treated spring and mineral waters.
• Investigators seized internal documents and digital records that will be analyzed to establish corporate and regulatory responsibility.
• The probe builds on a 2022 IGAS report and a 2024 investigation by Le Monde and Radio France exposing illegal filtration across top bottled water brands.
