What it is

Cream is the rich, fatty part of milk that rises to the top. Salt is a mineral compound, sodium chloride, typically harvested from salt mines or by evaporating seawater. When combined, they are often used to enhance flavor and texture in foods.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add cream to provide richness, a smooth texture, and moisture to products. Salt is primarily used as a flavor enhancer and can also help with preservation. This combination is common in many dairy-based products, baked goods, and savory prepared foods.

Health notes

Both cream and salt are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for their intended uses. Cream contributes to the fat content of foods, including saturated fat. Salt, or sodium chloride, is an essential nutrient, but high intake of sodium is a public health concern, as it can contribute to high blood pressure in some individuals. The FDA's Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 mg per day.
