PARIS — The French government let food giant Nestle sell bottled water despite the firm using a banned filtering method, media reported Tuesday.
According to Le Monde daily and Radio France , the offices of the prime minister and the president allowed Nestle to market the non-regulation water, against the recommendation of French health services.The water subsidiary of Nestle , which in France owns the Vittel, Contrex, Hepar and Perrier brands, in September agreed to pay a fine of two million euros to close probes over illegal wells and treatment of mineral water. That followed a complaint brought by the Foodwatch association.
In January 2023, the boss of the DGS health authority recommended 'the immediate suspension' of authorization for Nestle to sell water from French wells. An official report said the water was contaminated.The recommendation was transferred to then-prime minister Elisabeth Borne's office.But one month later, her office and President Emmanuel Macron's services authorized Nestle to continue micro-filtering, the media reports said.
