>The story hit the headlines a year ago in France after an investigation by Le Monde and Radio France revealed that at least a third of mineral water sold in France had been illegally treated, either with ultra-violet light, carbon filters or ultra-fine micro-meshes commonly used to screen out bacteria.
I find this pretty amusing, normally you'd think of big bad corporation cutting safety to save money, but here they are breaking the rules by filtering / adding some level of safety.
Granted I get it, there are questions of what the government was doing oking this practice and if folks were getting unfiltered water when that's what they thought they were buying.
It does seem like a bit of a "high class problem" ;)

I have such tremendous sympathy for anyone trying to run a business in France. The government taxes you heavily, spends enormous amounts on research so PhD's can come in and claim your product is too safe, and then blame climate change for things obviously not connected to climate change
