US EditionPerrier ordered to remove water filters
- French authorities ordered Nestlé Waters to stop filtering its Perrier natural mineral water on May 7, 2025, in the southern Gard region of France.
- The order followed a regional health authority ruling that Nestlé's microfiltering system violated EU regulations restricting treatments for natural mineral waters.
- Nestlé Waters, which owns Perrier and sells nearly one billion bottles annually in 140 countries, admitted in 2024 to using banned filters and ultra-violet treatments on mineral waters.
- Nestlé paid a two-million-euro fine to avoid legal action related to illegal water sources and filtering, and announced it will comply with the order while seeking authorization to maintain the 'natural mineral water' label.
- The decision intensified ongoing scrutiny including a Senate investigation, with opposition senators blaming government approval for regulatory failures and consumer groups urging full transparency on Nestlé's actions.
