What it is
Water is a clear, odorless, and tasteless liquid that is essential for life. It is naturally found in oceans, lakes, rivers, and rain. In food production, water is often purified and treated to ensure safety and consistency.
Why it's used
Water is the primary ingredient in many liquid foods, acting as a solvent and base. It is used to reconstitute dried ingredients, create broths and sauces, and provide moisture in processed foods. It is found in a wide variety of products, including soups, beverages, and frozen meals.
Health notes
Water is vital for human health and is not considered an additive. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not regulate water as a food additive. Adequate water intake is crucial for bodily functions. International bodies like the World Health Organization (WHO) recognize the importance of safe drinking water.
