What it is

Dairy cream is the fatty layer that rises to the top of fresh milk. It is separated from the milk, usually through a process called centrifugation. Cream is known for its rich texture and flavor.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add dairy cream to products for its rich flavor, smooth texture, and mouthfeel. It is commonly used in desserts, sauces, baked goods, and confectioneries to add richness and creaminess.

Health notes

Dairy cream is a common food ingredient and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. As a source of fat and calories, it should be consumed as part of a balanced diet. JECFA and EFSA evaluate dairy products as food components rather than as food additives.

Allergen info

Dairy cream is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
