What it is

Carbonation is the process of dissolving carbon dioxide gas (CO2) into a liquid, like water. This process creates bubbles and a fizzy sensation. It can occur naturally in some mineral waters or be added artificially during food manufacturing.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add carbonation to beverages to create a refreshing, fizzy texture and mouthfeel. It is commonly found in sparkling water, sodas, beers, and some juices.

Health notes

Carbon dioxide used for carbonation is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for its intended use. The FDA has not set specific upper intake levels for carbonation itself. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated carbon dioxide and have not set a numerical ADI. Consuming carbonated beverages can sometimes lead to bloating or gas for some individuals.

Allergen info

Carbonation is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
