What it is

Water that has been treated to remove impurities like sediment, chlorine, and minerals. Common filtration methods include reverse osmosis, distillation, and activated carbon filters. It is essentially purified water used as a base or ingredient.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use filter water as a primary ingredient in many beverages and processed foods. It serves as a neutral base for drinks like juices and sodas, and is used in soups, sauces, and baked goods where water quality is important for taste and consistency.

Health notes

Filter water is generally considered safe for consumption. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers purified water safe. International bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) have evaluated water, and it is not typically assigned specific safety limits in the same way as other food additives. There are no widespread health controversies associated with the consumption of filtered water at typical intake levels.

Allergen info

Filter water is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
