AQSIQ: Evian Mineral Water Contains Excessive Bacteria In China
According to the website of General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, eleven batches of French-made Evian mineral water imported at the Shanghai port contained excessive bacteria and two batches of the water imported at the Shenzhen port also had the problem.
According to local media reports, the 21.1 tons of Evian mineral water imported at the Shanghai port with the serial code of 2007-8-24 contained levels of 17000cfu/g of bacteria, which is about 340 times more than the national standard value of 50cfu/g.
Evian's public relations company Ogilvy says that unqualified Evian water is mainly the result of the differences in standards and the company is seeking a solution for the problem with the Chinese government, but no further details have been given.

Dont be shocked. This is not about 11 batches detected in China. Pick up Evian anywhere in the world & the results would shock you. Its quite simple if you understand water. Evian as a water has a PROBLEM. Evian is just a HYPE & a bad water in truth.
