French court mulls Perrier verdict: Consumer group challenges bottled water’s “natural” label

A French court will rule on Tuesday on whether Perrier must withdraw its bottled water from shelves, after consumer group UFC-Que Choisir sought an emergency intervention over what it alleges is deceptive marketing of the brand as "natural" mineral water.The move is the latest development in an ongoing scandal surrounding the Nestle owned brand since French media reported last year that Perrier and many other mineral water producers had been illegally treating their water to prevent contamination.
