French President Emmanuel Macron assured Tuesday that there was neither “agreement” nor “connivance” with Nestlé in the filtered waters affair. French media claim in an investigation that the Elysée has left the group to market non -compliant waters.
(Keystone-ATS) “I am not aware of these things. There is an agreement with anyone, there is no connivance with anyone, “Macron told journalists.
At the beginning of 2024, targeted by first revelations, Nestlé Waters, a subsidiary of the Swiss agrifood giant, acknowledged having used microfiltration systems to maintain the “food security” of its mineral waters.
The media Le Monde and Radio France said in an investigation Tuesday that the services of the then Prime Minister and the French presidency allowed Nestlé to market non -compliant waters and at risk to health. This despite the recommendations for banning health authorities from 2023.
