What it is
Cream sugar, also known as milk sugar or lactose, is a disaccharide sugar derived from milk. It is composed of glucose and galactose. It is a byproduct of milk processing, often separated from whey.
Why it's used
Cream sugar is primarily used as a sweetener and bulking agent in food products. Its mild sweetness and texture make it suitable for dairy products, baked goods, and confectionery.
Health notes
In the US, cream sugar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a natural component of milk and dairy products. Some individuals have difficulty digesting lactose, a condition known as lactose intolerance, which can lead to digestive discomfort. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated lactose, and it is widely consumed globally.
Allergen info
Cream sugar is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
