What it is

Cream powder is made from pasteurized milk or cream that has been dried. The process typically involves evaporating the water content, often using spray-drying techniques, to create a shelf-stable powder.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add cream powder to provide a rich, creamy flavor and texture to foods. It is commonly used in baking mixes, soups, sauces, desserts, and as a whitener for coffee and tea.

Health notes

In the US, cream powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of fat and protein. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated dairy products, but specific evaluations for cream powder are not widely publicized. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

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