French health authorities warned they had "reservations about the quality of the water that will be conditioned after the treatments have been withdrawn. In response to the developments, Foodwatch, a European campaign association, stressed about potential health hazards in Nestlé water. "The European directive and the French health laws on water are crystal clear: if mineral water is polluted, you don't delay. You withdraw it from sale and recall the product," Ingrid Kragl, Foodwatch spokeswoman, said. And a spokesperson from Nestlé assured compliance with regulations, adding that "all natural mineral water put on the market in France under the Hépar, Contrex, Vittel, or Perrier brands can be consumed safely". The spokesperson highlighted rigorous testing, covering 1,500 potential irregularities.
