The government of French President Emmanuel Macron covered up decisions over the illegal treatment of mineral water by food industry giant Nestle, including the world-famous Perrier brand, a Senate inquiry commission said Monday. Its report focused on Nestle’s years of use of treatments to avoid bacterial or chemical contamination of water labeled as ānatural mineral waterā or āspring waterā for brands also including Contrex, Vittel and HĆ©par. Such treatments are prohibited under French and European regulations.
