Nestlé destroyed nearly two million bottles of Perrier brand water as a precaution. The water from one of its wells located in Gard was apparently contaminated following very heavy rains in mid-March. The prefect of Gard spoke of “contamination of fecal origin”.
For a long time, the mineral bubbles and natural freshness of Perrier have been praised. But today, the brand finds itself in turmoil. The multinational Nestlé, which owns this brand, has just destroyed nearly two million bottles as a precaution, after what it calls “a one-off microbiological deviation”. The prefect of Gard speaks of “contamination of fecal origin”.
All other bottles can be consumed, depending on the brand
In question, one of its wells located in the Gard, in Vergèze, whose water would have been contaminated following the very heavy rains in mid-March during storm Monica. Drilling operations have been suspended and will resume at the appropriate time, under the control of the health authorities. An episode which comes after the announcement several months ago of non-regulatory water filtering on the part of the ore carrier. According to the brand, other wells are not affected. She points out that all other bottles on the market can be consumed safely.
