A question of perspective between nutrition and law"},"content":{"rendered":"<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Summary<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This article explores the complex question of whether water as food is a valid concept. Two distinct perspectives are analysed: the nutritional and the legal. From a nutritional point of view, water is to all intents and purposes a food, essential for vital functions, hydration and the supply of minerals, as confirmed by EFSA. From a legal point of view, on the other hand, European and Italian regulations distinguish water from food, unless a specific condition occurs: when water is treated (filtered, carbonated) and supplied to the public, as in the case of Water Houses or dispensers in catering. In this case, whoever supplies it becomes a Food Business Operator (FBO), with precise regulatory obligations, including the adoption of an HACCP plan. This article clarifies this boundary, positioning DKR as a competent partner that guides its customers in the correct management of the 'water food\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Steak? Food. Tortellini? Food. Water? Here, the answer that seemed obvious suddenly becomes uncertain. There are in fact two currents of thought, both with solid arguments, that define water in different ways. For some, water does not provide energy (calories) and, although it is the <strong>most indispensable substance for life<\/strong>, is not a food in the strict sense. For others, thanks to the minerals it carries and its role in every metabolic process, it is a nutrient in its own right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The truth is that both positions are correct, because the assessment changes radically depending on the perspective: it is one thing to consider water as a foodstuff from a biological and nutritional point of view, it is quite another to analyse it from a legal point of view. And it is precisely on this boundary that a fundamental game is played for those who, like DKR, are involved in designing, installing and maintaining water treatment and supply systems for the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The nutritional point of view: water as the pillar of life<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the point of view of nutrition science and biology, there is little doubt: water is a food. Not surprisingly, it is found at the <strong>base of the food pyramid<\/strong>e, symbolising its irreplaceable and fundamental role in the physiology of the human body. Its functions have been extensively studied and certified by the highest scientific authorities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has established a <strong>direct relationship of cause and effect<\/strong> between daily water intake and the maintenance of normal physical and cognitive functions. Adequate hydration is essential for concentration, memory and physical performance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is the main <strong>agent of <\/strong><strong>thermoregulation<\/strong>, allowing the body to maintain a constant temperature through sweating and perspiration.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It works as <strong>universal solvent and conveyor<\/strong>, transporting nutrients, hormones and oxygen to the cells and removing metabolic waste.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>It brings <\/strong><strong>mineral salts<\/strong>, essential inorganic nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium, which, although they make up a small part of the body weight (about 6%), perform vital biological functions for bone health, muscle contraction and water-salt balance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is important to point out that drinking water is not our main source of minerals (it is estimated to contribute between 1% and 20% of our total requirements), a role played primarily by solid food. However, its contribution is not negligible and its role as a \u2019carrier\u201c of these nutrients is indisputable. Biologically speaking, considering water as a food is not only correct, it is a necessity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The legal point of view: when water becomes \u201cfood\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the science of nutrition is clear, the law draws a c<strong>onfine much sharper<\/strong>, specific and, in some ways, counterintuitive. European legislation (EC Reg. 178\/2002) and the Italian transposing legislation make a clear distinction between the legal regime for water and that for foodstuffs. Generally speaking, and to avoid overlapping, the\u2019<a href=\"https:\/\/drinkatering.com\/en\/evolution-drinking-water-regulations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">drinking water<\/a> supplied by the aqueduct is not considered a foodstuff and follows its own specific and strict reference legislation (mainly Legislative Decree 31\/2001, which transposes European Directive 98\/83\/EC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, there is one fundamental exception that completely changes the game. Water legally becomes a foodstuff the moment it undergoes two joint actions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It is treated at the point of use (with filtration, refrigeration, carbonation equipment).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is supplied to the public in bulk, in jugs or in reusable bottles.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is exactly the case with the <a href=\"https:\/\/drinkatering.com\/en\/water-house-sustainable-choice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Water Houses<\/a> installed in municipalities, which deliver micro-filtered water to citizens, or professional dispensers installed in restaurants, bars, canteens and hotels. In this precise context, water ceases to be a simple commodity supplied by the public network and to all intents and purposes takes on the status of \u201cfood\u201d, because an operator actively intervenes to modify its characteristics and administer it to third parties. It is here that the concept of water as food becomes a legal and operational reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/drinkatering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/acqua-come-alimento-1.png\" alt=\"water is food?\" class=\"wp-image-7592\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drinkatering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/acqua-come-alimento-1.png 650w, https:\/\/drinkatering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/acqua-come-alimento-1-300x208.png 300w, https:\/\/drinkatering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/acqua-come-alimento-1-18x12.png 18w, https:\/\/drinkatering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/acqua-come-alimento-1-600x415.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The obligations of the Food Business Operator (FBO)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This legal transformation has a very important consequence: whoever treats and supplies water to the public becomes, to all intents and purposes, a FBO (Food Business Operator). As such, it is no longer sufficient to ensure that the water complies with basic potability parameters, but is required to comply with a series of additional regulations designed to protect the health of the end consumer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main regulations involved are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>DM 174\/2004 supplemented by Legislative Decree 18\/2024:<\/strong> regulates the suitability of materials and system components (pipes, fittings, filters) to come into contact with drinking water, ensuring that they do not release harmful substances.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>DM 25\/2012:<\/strong><strong> <\/strong>defines specific technical provisions for water treatment equipment, establishing performance and information requirements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Regulation (EC) No 852\/2004:<\/strong> is the pivotal standard that requires the FBO to implement and maintain a self-control system based on the principles of HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Becoming a FBO for the management of water as food results in precise and non-delegable obligations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Drawing up a self-control plan (HACCP):<\/strong> a fundamental document that analyses the specific risks of your plant (e.g. bacterial contamination, filter wear) and establishes critical control points and procedures to monitor them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Planning planned maintenance:<\/strong><strong> <\/strong>establish a schedule of periodic checks on the installations to ensure their correct and hygienic operation over time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Managing consumables:<\/strong><strong> <\/strong>ensure the regular replacement of filter elements, UV lamps and other consumable components in accordance with the manufacturer's timetable, recording each intervention.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Carry out periodic analyses:<\/strong> schedule analyses of the treated water at an accredited laboratory to constantly check that the quality of the product supplied complies with legal parameters and that the treatment has not introduced any criticalities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>DKR, a strategic partner for water management'<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, is water a food? The answer is: it depends. But for a municipality installing a Water House or a restaurateur choosing a <a href=\"https:\/\/drinkatering.com\/en\/water-dispensers-on-tap\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">professional dispenser<\/a> for its customers, the legal answer is a clear and unequivocal \u201cyes\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Understanding this distinction is not a mere exercise in style, but is fundamental to operating in <strong>full compliance, with security and professionalism<\/strong>. In <a href=\"https:\/\/drinkatering.com\/en\/how-we-operate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DKR<\/a>, our mission goes beyond providing state-of-the-art water treatment technology.
