What it is
Sauce water is simply water that has been used to create a sauce, often a tomato-based sauce for pizza. It may contain residual ingredients from the sauce-making process, such as tomato solids, spices, or flavorings. It is typically a liquid component used in processed foods.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use sauce water as a liquid base or binder in processed foods, particularly in sauces and fillings. It helps to create the desired texture and moisture content in products like pizza bites and other frozen appetizers.
Health notes
Sauce water is generally considered safe for consumption as it is primarily water. The FDA has not established specific regulations for 'sauce water' as a distinct ingredient, but its components would fall under general food safety standards. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated many individual sauce ingredients. No significant health concerns are associated with the typical consumption of sauce water.
Allergen info
Sauce water is not a major allergen. However, if the sauce it is derived from contains allergens like wheat (e.g., in tomato paste processing), it could potentially carry trace amounts.
