What it is
Water is a clear, odorless, tasteless liquid essential for life. It is a chemical compound made of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom (H2O). Water is found naturally on Earth in oceans, lakes, rivers, and as groundwater.
Why it's used
Water is used in food manufacturing as a solvent, a base for beverages, and to hydrate dry ingredients. It is also used in cleaning and processing food. It is a fundamental ingredient in almost all processed foods, from baked goods to soups and sauces.
Health notes
Water is essential for human health and survival. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers water safe for consumption. Regulatory bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) have evaluated water and its safety. Excessive intake of water can lead to hyponatremia, a condition where sodium levels in the blood become dangerously low, but this is rare and typically associated with extreme endurance activities or certain medical conditions.
