What it is

Water is a clear, odorless, tasteless liquid essential for life. It is a compound made of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom (H2O). Water is found naturally in oceans, rivers, lakes, and as groundwater, and is also produced industrially.

Why it's used

Water is used in food manufacturing as a solvent, a base for beverages, and to hydrate dry ingredients. It is crucial for processes like cooking, steaming, and cleaning. It appears in a vast array of processed foods, from baked goods to frozen meals.

Health notes

Water is essential for human health and is not considered an additive. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recognizes water as safe. Regulatory bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated water's safety, recognizing its fundamental role in nutrition. 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 circumstances.
