What it is

Water is a clear, odorless, tasteless liquid essential for life. It makes up about 60% of the human body and is found naturally in rivers, lakes, and oceans. In food production, water is used as a solvent, a cleaning agent, and a base for many products.

Why it's used

Water is a fundamental ingredient in nearly all processed foods, acting as a solvent, a carrier for flavors and colors, and a base for beverages and sauces. It is essential for rehydrating dried ingredients and achieving the desired texture in products like baked goods, soups, and frozen meals.

Health notes

Water is not regulated as a food additive in the US, as it is considered safe and essential. Regulatory bodies like the WHO and FDA recognize its importance for health. Excessive water intake can lead to hyponatremia, a condition where sodium levels in the blood become dangerously low, but this is rare and typically associated with extreme circumstances, not normal dietary consumption.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen.
