Nestle discontinues popular drink after more than 40 years

Now, Nestle has confirmed it has axed another product from its UK range - Perrier Lemon.

Perrier first launched in the UK back in 1863, with the Lemon variation introduced globally in February 1985.

Shoppers have taken to social media, asking Nestle why they can't find Perrier Lemon in the UK.

One shopper, posting on X (formerly Twitter), asked: "@NestleCare I'm unable to find the original Perrier Lemon.

"Instead, the Maison Perrier line is stocked everywhere which definitely is a much lower quality product.

"Can you please advise if this is still being manufactured and if so, which retailers / suppliers can we get it from?"

Nestle replied, saying: "We understand it's disappointing when a favourite product is no longer available.

"Perrier Lemon has been discontinued in the UK."

Despite the discontinuation of the lemon flavour, other Perrier products remain widely available in the UK.

Classic Perrier sparkling mineral water and the new Maison Perrier range can be found in major UK supermarkets, convenience stores, and online retailers.
