It has been revealed that the food giant Nestle, which was previously fined 2 million Euros for failing to comply with hygiene rules during the production phase in the waters it sold, will be tried once again. This time, Nestle will be prosecuted for allegedly filtering dirty water and selling it as natural water. ALLEGEDLY SOLD DIRTY WATER AS NATURAL SPRING WATERAccording to a report by DW Turkish, the organization Foodwatch, which advocates for consumer rights, claimed that Nestle illegally filtered dirty water and sold it as "natural spring water." This allegation has disturbed millions of people who consume Nestle brand water. CARBON DIOXIDE ADDED TO WATER LATERFoodwatch claimed that Nestle not only illegally filtered water but also added carbon dioxide to waters sold as "naturally carbonated water" and used iron sulfate to filter arsenic, leading to a lawsuit against the giant brand. 2 MILLION EUROS IN FINES PAIDFoodwatch alleged that Nestle, which has previously faced similar accusations of fraud in food products, had paid a fine of 2 million Euros. Chris Methmann, the Director of Foodwatch Germany, emphasized that Nestle is a company that reports an annual profit of 11.8 billion Euros, stating that the fine they paid corresponds to only 99 minutes of profit, indicating that the penalty is very low. In the newly opened case, accusations were also directed at Sources Alma, the producer of the Cristaline brand. Foodwatch demanded an investigation into all other water brands of Nestle.
