What it is

Cream is the fatty part of milk that rises to the top when milk is left to stand. It is separated from milk and then pasteurized, meaning it's heated to a specific temperature for a set time to kill harmful bacteria. When labeled "organic," it means the cream comes from cows raised according to USDA organic farming standards, which prohibit the use of synthetic hormones, certain pesticides, and antibiotics.

Why it's used

Cream is widely used in food manufacturing to add richness, flavor, and a smooth, luxurious texture. It is a primary ingredient in dairy products such as butter, ice cream, and sour cream. Beyond dairy, it's frequently incorporated into soups, sauces, baked goods, and desserts to enhance their palatability and mouthfeel.

Health notes

Certified Organic Pasteurized Cream is a natural food product, not a food additive, and is not subject to FDA approval as such. It is primarily composed of fat, including saturated fat. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. JECFA and EFSA typically evaluate food additives and contaminants, not whole food ingredients like cream.

Allergen info

Cream is a dairy product and is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
