Made Of Water

Water is a clear, odorless, tasteless liquid essential for all known forms of life. It is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom (H2O). In food, it can be sourced from purified tap water, spring water, or distilled water.

Water is a fundamental ingredient in countless food products, acting as a solvent, a base for beverages, and a component in cooking and processing. It is used to hydrate dry ingredients, create sauces and soups, and is a primary ingredient in many processed foods like baked goods, beverages, and frozen meals.

Water is essential for human health and survival. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers water safe for consumption. While there are no specific upper intake limits set by regulatory bodies like JECFA or EFSA for water, excessive consumption can lead to hyponatremia (water intoxication), a rare condition where sodium levels in the blood become dangerously low. Adequate hydration is generally recommended for overall well-being.
