REUTERS/Benoit Tessier/File Photo The French government "at the highest level" covered up a scandal over the treatment of mineral water by food giant Nestle, including the iconic Perrier brand, an investigation by France's upper house of parliament said Monday. In recent years the Swiss food and drinks conglomerate has been under pressure over its Perrier and other brands as EU regulations strictly limit what treatments are allowed for any product marketed as natural mineral water. "In addition to Nestle Waters' lack of transparency, it is important to highlight the state's lack of transparency, both towards local and European authorities and towards the French people," said the report by a commission of inquiry of the French Senate. The report follows a six-month-long Senate inquiry involving more than 70 hearings. "This concealment is part of a deliberate strategy, addressed at the first inter ministerial meeting on natural mineral waters on October 14, 2021," said the report. "Nearly four years later, transparency has still not been achieved," said the report. Perrier - one of the most famous mineral waters in the world, obtained from a spring in southern France and traditionally served on ice with a slice of lemon -- was acquired by Nestle in the early 1990s.
