What it is
Water that has been purified through a process called filtration. Filtration removes impurities like sediment, chlorine, and other particles, resulting in a cleaner taste. It is essentially the same as regular tap water but has undergone an extra purification step.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use filtered water as a base ingredient in many food and beverage products. It is often used in processed foods like cereals, baked goods, and beverages to ensure a neutral flavor and consistent quality. Its purity makes it a reliable component in products where water quality is important.
Health notes
Filtered water is generally considered safe for consumption. Regulatory bodies like the FDA do not typically regulate filtered water specifically, as it falls under general food safety standards. International bodies like the WHO have established guidelines for drinking water quality, which filtration aims to meet. There are no widespread health concerns associated with consuming filtered water at typical intake levels.
Allergen info
