What it is
Carbonated artesian spring water is simply spring water that has been infused with carbon dioxide gas under pressure. Artesian water comes from a confined aquifer, where the water is trapped between layers of rock or clay and is naturally under pressure.
Why it's used
Carbonation adds a fizzy texture and tangy taste to beverages. It is most commonly found in soft drinks, sparkling water, and other carbonated beverages, where it contributes to the sensory experience.
Health notes
Carbonated water is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. The FDA has not set specific upper limits for carbonated water intake. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated carbonated water. While excessive consumption of sugary carbonated beverages is linked to health concerns, plain carbonated water is considered a healthy alternative to sugary drinks.
Allergen info
Carbonated artesian spring water is not derived from any of the FDA's major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
