What it is

A cream cheese blend is a dairy product made by combining cream cheese with other ingredients, such as stabilizers or other dairy components. It is designed to offer a specific texture and flavor profile for food manufacturing. The base is typically pasteurized milk and cream, cultured to develop a tangy flavor.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use cream cheese blends to enhance the texture, creaminess, and flavor of various food products. They are often found in baked goods like cakes and cheesecakes, as well as in dips, spreads, and savory appetizers. The blend can provide a smooth mouthfeel and a rich, dairy-like taste.

Health notes

Cream cheese blends are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. They are a source of fat and protein. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar dairy products. At typical consumption levels, they contribute calories and fat to the diet, consistent with general dietary recommendations.

Allergen info

Cream cheese blends are derived from milk, which is one of the nine FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten unless other gluten-containing ingredients are added.
