What it is
Cream is the high-fat part of milk that separates and rises to the top when milk is left undisturbed. It is typically separated from milk using a centrifuge and then pasteurized to ensure safety.
Why it's used
Cream is widely used to add richness, flavor, and a smooth, luxurious texture to a variety of foods. It is a primary ingredient in dairy products such as butter, ice cream, and whipped cream. It also enhances the taste and consistency of sauces, soups, desserts, and baked goods.
Health notes
Cream is a common food ingredient and is not regulated by the FDA as a food additive. It is a source of dietary fat, including saturated fat. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. Cream is generally considered safe for consumption as part of a balanced diet for individuals without milk allergies.
Allergen info
Cream is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
