Perrier Destroys Two Million Bottles Of Water After 'Fecal’ Discovery

File photo dated August 7, 2017 shows Perrier Museum next to the bottling plant in Vergeze, south of France. Perrier has been ordered to destroy two million bottles of water after bacteria “of faecal origin” was discovered in one of its wells in Gard, in southern France. "Several batches of bottles” the equivalent of “several hundred pallets” were destroyed, according to Nestle. The company has not specified the nature of the contamination but has reassured that “all bottles on the market can be consumed in complete safety”. Photo by Corre/ANDBZ/ABACAPRESS.COM

    This photo shows bottles of Perrier in Paris, France on December 17, 2024. “The most famous sparkling water brand is under threat of losing its natural mineral water label, which has made its reputation for over a century,” said the French daily Le Monde. The newspaper added that “a confidential report from the Occitanie regional health agency (ARS) leaves little room for any other outcome” and that the “blow could be fatal for Perrier”. Following an inspection carried out at the end of May at Perrier’s only packaging site in the Gard region, the state agency says that Nestlé Waters, the brand’s owner, should seriously consider “stopping production of mineral water at the Vergèze site”, due to the regularly degraded sanitary quality of its catchments and, in particular, a virological risk.
