Purified Water By Reverse Osmosis

Purified water by reverse osmosis is regular tap water that has been filtered to remove impurities. This process uses a semipermeable membrane to physically remove dissolved salts, minerals, and other contaminants.

Manufacturers use purified water as a base ingredient in beverages like bottled water, flavored waters, and some soft drinks. It provides a clean, neutral taste profile, ensuring the intended flavors of other ingredients are prominent.

Purified water is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. The FDA does not set specific upper intake levels for water, as it is a fundamental nutrient. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated water as a food ingredient.
