Editing Perrier (section)

==Overview==
The spring from which Perrier water is sourced is naturally [[carbonated water|carbonated]], but the water and natural [[Carbon dioxide|carbon dioxide gas]] are obtained independently. The water is then purified, and during [[Bottling line|bottling]], the carbon dioxide gas is re-added so that the level of carbonation in bottled Perrier matches that of the Vergèze spring.<ref>Perrier Group of Canada Inc. v.

In 1990, Perrier removed the "naturally sparkling" claim from its bottles under pressure from the United States [[Food and Drug Administration]] (FDA).<ref>{{Cite web|date=April 19, 1990|title=Perrier to Remove 'Naturally Sparkling' Claim from its Bottles|website=[[Associated Press]]|url=https://apnews.com/article/3c184e5cc35cfcc431334f130185ea79}}</ref>

Since at least 2019, Perrier water is no longer "reinforced with gas from the source" but "with the addition of carbon dioxide". According to the company, this change allows it to considerably reduce its total water consumption and reduce its ecological impact.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Perrier France on Twitter|url=https://twitter.com/perrierfr/status/1086253809725263872|access-date=2021-10-07|website=Twitter|language=en}}</ref>

In 2024, it was revealed by [[Radio France]] and [[Le Monde]] that Perrier water, as well as a third of French mineral water brands, was no longer meeting the standards for mineral water due to undergoing prohibited purification techniques.<ref>{{cite news |title=Eaux en bouteille : des pratiques trompeuses à grande échelle |url=https://www.lemonde.fr/planete/article/2024/01/30/eaux-en-bouteille-des-traitements-non-conformes-utilises-a-grande-echelle_6213815_3244.html |publisher=Le Monde |date=30 January 2024 |language=fr}}</ref>
