What it is

Cream and milk are dairy products derived from the milk of cows, goats, or sheep. Milk is the liquid produced by mammals, while cream is the high-fat layer skimmed from the top of milk before homogenization. They are fundamental ingredients in many food products.

Why it's used

Milk and cream are used for their rich flavor, creamy texture, and nutritional value. They act as emulsifiers, help create smooth sauces and desserts, and are key components in cheeses, ice cream, yogurt, and baked goods.

Health notes

Milk and cream are considered safe and nutritious by regulatory bodies when consumed as part of a balanced diet. The FDA recognizes milk as a major food allergen. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated dairy products. While generally recognized as safe, high intake of saturated fat from full-fat dairy products may be a concern for some individuals, as advised by general dietary guidelines.

Allergen info

Milk is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Products containing milk or cream will declare it on the ingredient list. Gluten is not typically found in milk or cream unless added during processing.
