French Officers Raid Nestle's Perrier Water Bottling Site
Nestlé said it is cooperating as investigators examine whether Perrier water treatments affected its natural mineral water status.
- On Tuesday, French anti-fraud department officers raided two Nestlé sites, including a Perrier bottling facility in Vergeze and a laboratory in the Vosges mountains.
- A complaint filed to the Paris prosecutor by consumer group FoodWatch alleging "deceit" triggered the investigation, Radio France reported.
- Perrier has faced scrutiny since 2024, when reports indicated it used water treatments to prevent contamination, meaning it could no longer be described as "natural mineral water."
- Nestlé confirmed it is cooperating fully with the investigation, which follows July 2025 raids by French Authorities on the company's Paris headquarters.
- The department declined to comment on the probe, though a 2025 French court previously rejected a separate case against Perrier.
