Statement from Nestlé – manufacturer of San Pellegrino

We would like to inform you that the safety and quality of our products is our priority and we assure you that our bottled waters are safe to drink. Over the past two years, we have tested a range of our products, including Nestlé Pure Life and S. Pellegrino, for the presence of micro-plastics. Systematic analysis is now part of our Yearly Monitoring Plan for all of our finished products, using state-of-the art devices and techniques for clearer identification of micro-plastic traces and to better determine their origin.

To date, we have not found micro-plastics in our products beyond a trace level.

Recent scientific investigations show that micro plastics can be present in the natural environment and may even be ingested through the air we breathe. As is the case for many emerging topics, robust evidence is lacking on the potential impact of micro plastics on human health and whether a safe level of exposure needs to be determined. We welcome further research on the possible effects of microplastics on human health. Regardless, we share concerns about this issue and take it seriously.
