What it is

Cultured pasteurized Grade A cream is a dairy product made from cream that has been pasteurized (heated to kill harmful bacteria) and then cultured with live bacteria. These bacteria ferment the lactose (sugar) in the cream, producing lactic acid, which gives it a tangy flavor and thicker texture.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use cultured cream as a souring agent and thickener in foods like sour cream, dips, dressings, and desserts. Its rich flavor and creamy texture enhance the palatability of many dairy-based products.

Health notes

Cultured pasteurized Grade A cream is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of fat and calories, and like other dairy products, it contains calcium and vitamin A. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated similar dairy products. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Cultured pasteurized Grade A cream is derived from milk and is therefore a major allergen. It does not contain gluten.
