What it is

Churned cream is a dairy ingredient that comes from the process of making butter. When cream is churned, the fat solids separate to form butter, leaving behind a liquid known as buttermilk. This liquid, or a component of it, is referred to as churned cream.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use churned cream to add a rich, creamy texture and dairy flavor to various food products. It can enhance the taste and mouthfeel of items like cheese spreads, frozen appetizers, and other dairy-based foods. It contributes to the overall dairy profile of a product.

Health notes

Churned cream is a food ingredient, not a food additive, and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when used in accordance with good manufacturing practices. As a dairy product, it contains milk fats and proteins. There are no specific health controversies associated with churned cream itself, beyond general dietary considerations for dairy products. JECFA and EFSA do not typically evaluate basic food ingredients like churned cream as food additives.

Allergen info

Churned cream is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
