What it is

Water is a clear, odorless, and tasteless liquid essential for life. It is a naturally occurring compound made of hydrogen and oxygen. In food products, it can be tap water, purified water, or distilled water, depending on the manufacturing process.

Why it's used

Water is used in food as a solvent, a base for beverages, and to hydrate dry ingredients. It helps control texture and moisture in baked goods like cakes and pizzas. It is also used in processed foods to achieve the desired consistency and as a processing aid.

Health notes

Water is not an additive and does not require FDA approval. It is essential for human health, and the U.S. National Academies have established a general recommendation for daily water intake. Excessive water intake is rare and typically only occurs under specific medical conditions. JECFA and EFSA have not specifically evaluated water as a food additive.
