Hugo Clément traced the supply chains and uncovered surreal production methods far removed from the bucolic image of its logo. For example, insecticides that kill butterflies are permitted. In Loire‑Atlantique, off‑ground tomato greenhouses bearing the HVE label are heated with gas and illuminated throughout the night, even in the middle of winter.
