This ingredient is a solution of water, typically containing up to 15% water, used to maintain moisture and texture in food products. It is often added to processed meats and poultry to improve juiciness and palatability. The water is purified and meets food-grade standards.

Manufacturers add this solution to help keep foods moist and tender during cooking and storage. It is commonly found in processed meats, poultry, and prepared meals, such as rotisserie chicken and sandwiches. Its primary function is to enhance the eating experience by preventing dryness.

Water is essential for life and is not regulated as a food additive in the same way as other ingredients. The FDA considers purified water safe for consumption. There are no known health concerns associated with consuming water in typical food amounts. International bodies like JECFA have not set specific limits for water as it is a fundamental nutrient.
