Nestlé replaced Perrier's microfiltration with a 0.45 micron filter to remain in compliance with the regulations. The objective is to save the name "natural mineral water"
The challenge for the giant of natural mineral waters is to be able to continue producing Perrier under this name, a year and a half after revelations in the press about the use by Nestlé
On Thursday, the Swiss agri-food giant announced that it had "adapted" its microfiltration device "at the prefect's request" and had put in place "a new device".
The agri-food giant claims to be in compliance with the law by removing certain filtration devices at its Vergèze (Gard) site, but has not yet provided evidence that Perrier sources can produce a drink that meets the criteria of natural mineral water.
Perrier: Nestlé Waters Announces that It Has Replaced Its Microfiltration, Considered Non-Regulatory
In response to the recommendations of the health authorities, the company replaced its initial microfiltration device, which was found to be non-compliant, with a technology that met the standards in force, following a prefectural ultimatum aimed at ensuring the natural quality of the water.

On Thursday, Nestlé Waters announced that it had renounced its 0.2 micron microfiltration at its Vergèze production site. But in the Vosges, the water subsidiary of the Swiss giant dismantled this device, two weeks ago for its brands Hépar and Contrexéville.
