Wrapper: Water

Water is a clear, odorless, tasteless liquid essential for life. It is a chemical compound made of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom (H2O). In food, it can be sourced from purified tap water, distilled water, or spring water.

Water is a fundamental ingredient in many foods, acting as a solvent, a base for beverages, and a cooking medium. It is used to hydrate dried ingredients, create sauces and broths, and is a key component in baked goods, soups, and frozen meals.

Water is not an additive and does not require FDA approval. It is essential for human health, playing a role in numerous bodily functions. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated water's safety and found it to be safe for consumption. There are no known health concerns associated with typical water intake.
