A confidential report by the Regional Health Agency (ARS) of Occitania, obtained by Le Monde and Radio France’s investigation unit, leaves little room for another result. Concluded in August, after an inspection carried out at the end of May on Perrier’s only packaging site, in Vergèze, Gard, the mission considers that Nestlé Waters, owner of the brand, should seriously consider ‘ceasing production of “mineral water” at the Vergèze site’ due to the regular deterioration of the sanitary quality of its catchment areas and, in particular, a virological risk.
