Perrier Perrier carbonated mineral water

Evidence and review

Source: Reddy A et al. JADA 2016;147(4):255-263 Table 1: pH 5.25 (SD 0.10); Accumet AR15, triplicate, 25°C; erosivity zone derived from pH per p257 thresholds. D17 (ALGORITHM_VERSION 51, 2026-08-19) MINERAL FLAGS, from the 2025 Perrier Water Analysis Report, Nestle/Perrier Vergeze France, https://www.goodnes.com/sites/g/files/jgfbjl321/files/2026-04/perrier-en-2025-april-27-2026.pdf: calcium 150 mg/L, so hasCalcium TRUE. Fluoride 0.10 mg/L. D24 (ALGORITHM_VERSION 52, 2026-08-19) SUPERSEDES THE EARLIER D18 SENTENCE HERE, which read that 0.10 mg/L is below the 0.7 mg/L flag threshold and therefore hasFluoride FALSE: D23 WITHDREW that threshold, so 0.10 mg/L is now written into the fluorideMgL field, hasFluoride is TRUE, and the concentration earns 10 * sqrt(0.10/0.7) = 3.78 of the 10 fluoride points on the v39 dose curve. Phosphate/phosphorus is NOT LISTED in that report, so hasPhosphate is FALSE. Magnesium 3.6 mg/L is non-scoring (the magnesium term was removed at ALGORITHM_VERSION 34) and is deliberately not flagged. Total alkalinity 340 mg/L as CaCO3. BICARBONATE FLAG NEEDS OWNER SIGN-OFF: hasBicarbonate is set TRUE, but the only DIRECT HCO3 figure for this product, 430 mg/L, comes from an UNDATED Nestle investor fact sheet (https://www.nestle.com/sites/default/files/asset-library/documents/investors/fact-sheets/perrier-fact-sheet.pdf) which DISAGREES with the 2025 report elsewhere - magnesium 6.8 against 3.6, sulphate 33 against 11 - and it is corroborated only INDIRECTLY, by the 2025 report's total alkalinity of 340 mg/L as CaCO3.
