What it is
Water that has been purified through a process called filtration. Filtration removes impurities like sediment, chlorine, and other dissolved solids, resulting in a cleaner taste. It is the primary ingredient in many beverages and food products.
Why it's used
Water is used as a base ingredient in a vast array of food and beverage products. It serves as a solvent, a carrier for other ingredients, and is essential for texture and moisture. It is found in everything from baked goods and processed meats to soups and beverages.
Health notes
Filtered water is generally considered safe for consumption. Regulatory bodies like the FDA oversee the safety of public water supplies. While water is essential for life, excessive intake can lead to health issues, though this is rare. Major international bodies like WHO/IARC have not specifically evaluated filtered water as a food additive.
