What it is

Cream cheese powder is a dehydrated form of cream cheese. It is made by removing water from cream cheese, typically through spray-drying or freeze-drying. This process concentrates the flavor and fat content of the original cream cheese.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add cream cheese powder to provide the distinct flavor and creamy texture of cream cheese without the added moisture and refrigeration needs of the original product. It is commonly used in dry soup mixes, baked goods like cookies and biscuits, snack seasonings, and as an ingredient in sauces and dips.

Health notes

Cream cheese powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of fat and protein. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar dairy-derived ingredients. No significant health concerns are associated with its consumption at typical levels found in food.

Allergen info

Cream cheese powder is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
