What it is

Water is a clear, odorless, tasteless liquid essential for life. It is a chemical compound made of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. In food production, purified water is used to ensure consistency and safety.

Why it's used

Water is a fundamental ingredient in many processed foods, acting as a solvent, a base for beverages, and a key component in rehydrating dry ingredients. It's found in baked goods, soups, sauces, and frozen meals.

Health notes

Water is essential for human health and is not regulated as a food additive. Regulatory bodies like the FDA do not set ADIs for water. Adequate water intake is crucial for bodily functions, and while excess water consumption is rare, it can lead to health issues. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated water's role in hydration and health.
