Nestlé accused: Foodwatch suspects consumer deception due to contaminated water. Foodwatch has taken legal action against the two producers.
The French government is said to have known about Nestlé's contamination for years. According to reports, the government has been aware of the practices since 2021 at the latest. A commission of inquiry confirmed in 2022 that the illegal disinfection of spring water is widespread. The charges for violations of EU guidelines were presented in Paris. It is currently uncertain whether the products were also available in Germany.
