In a statement posted on its X account, the Authority said: “ADAFSA reassures

consumers in the emirate that it is taking all necessary measures and

procedures to prevent any unsafe and unhealthy products from reaching the

Perrier, under government orders, destroyed 2 million bottles of its sparkling

water suspected of being contaminated with “faecal” bacteria.

Nestlé also “temporarily suspended” a well in France that supplies its Perrier

“period of exceptionally heavy rainfall” at its Vergèze site in the Gard region of

southern France.
