What it is

Acidified sour cream is a dairy product made by adding a bacterial culture to pasteurized cream, which produces lactic acid. This acid causes the cream to thicken and develop a tangy flavor, mimicking traditional sour cream. It is often made with milk, cream, and a starter culture.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use acidified sour cream as a flavoring agent and thickener in a variety of foods. Its creamy texture and tart taste make it a popular ingredient in dips, sauces, dressings, and prepared meals, adding richness and depth of flavor.

Health notes

Acidified sour cream is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of calcium and protein. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar dairy products. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming acidified sour cream in typical amounts as part of a balanced diet.

Allergen info

Acidified sour cream is derived from milk, which is one of the FDA's nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
