What it is
Aquifer water is groundwater that has been stored underground in rock formations called aquifers. It is typically sourced from wells drilled into these underground water sources. The water is then purified and treated for use in food products.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use aquifer water as a basic ingredient in many food products, primarily as a liquid base. It is essential for rehydrating dried ingredients and achieving the desired consistency in items like pasta, soups, and sauces.
Health notes
Aquifer water is generally considered safe for consumption. In the U.S., water intended for drinking is regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Safe Drinking Water Act. International bodies like the World Health Organization (WHO) also provide guidelines on drinking water quality. There are no widespread health concerns associated with consuming purified aquifer water at typical intake levels.
Allergen info
Aquifer water is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
