What it is

Water is a clear, odorless, tasteless liquid essential for life. Rice is a grain grown worldwide, with thousands of varieties. When combined, they often form a simple base or liquid component in food products, like a sauce or a cooked grain dish.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use water and rice to add moisture, texture, and bulk to foods. They can serve as a base for sauces, a cooking liquid for grains, or a primary component in dishes like rice pudding or congee. This combination is frequently found in frozen meals, side dishes, and cooking sauces.

Health notes

Water is essential for human health and is not regulated as a food additive. Rice is a staple grain and a source of carbohydrates. Both are generally recognized as safe by the FDA when consumed as food. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated various food ingredients, but specific evaluations for the combination 'water and rice' are not applicable as they are fundamental food components.

Allergen info

Rice is not one of the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
