What it is

Water is a clear, odorless, and tasteless liquid essential for life. It is the main component of the oceans, rivers, and lakes on Earth and is also found in the air and within living organisms. Water is produced through various natural processes and can also be purified for consumption.

Why it's used

Water is used in food manufacturing as a solvent, a base for beverages, and a processing aid. It helps to hydrate ingredients, dissolve flavors and nutrients, and control the texture and consistency of products. Water is found in a vast array of processed foods, from baked goods to soups and sauces.

Health notes

Water is not typically regulated as a food additive in the same way as other ingredients, as it is a fundamental necessity for life. Adequate water intake is crucial for overall health, supporting bodily functions like temperature regulation and nutrient transport. Regulatory bodies like the FDA oversee the safety of public water supplies. International bodies such as JECFA have evaluated water quality standards.
