The French government covered Nestle Mineral Water Skandal, shows the Senate Report

In a report by the French Senate published on Monday, it was found that the French government covered up consumer fraud by the food giant Nestle and enabled the company to use forbidden treatments for the production of natural mineral waters such as Perrier.

The French government “at the highest level” covered up a scandal on the treatment of mineral water through the food giant Nestle, including the legendary Perrier brand, announced an investigation by the Senate on Monday.

In recent years, the Swiss food and beverage conflomerat has been put under pressure under pressure from its Perrier and other brands, since the EU regulations strictly restrict the treatments for each product marketed as natural mineral water.

“In addition to the lack of transparency of Nestle Waters, it is important to highlight the lack of transparency of the state towards both local and European authorities and to the French people,” said the Senate Report.

The report follows a six -month Senate examination with more than 70 hearings.

“This veiling is part of a deliberate strategy that will be addressed on October 14, 2021 at the first interministerial meeting about natural mineral waters,” the report said.

“Almost four years later, transparency has not yet been reached,” says the report.

One of the most famous mineral waters in the world, which traditionally served with a lemon disc on ice and was won by a source in southern France, was acquired by Nestle in the early 1990s.
