What it is

Dehydrated sour cream is a powdered form of sour cream. It is made by removing the water content from regular sour cream, typically through spray drying or freeze-drying.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add dehydrated sour cream to provide a tangy, creamy flavor and aroma to foods. It is commonly found in snack foods like potato chips, pretzels, and crackers, as well as in dips, sauces, and seasoning mixes.

Health notes

Dehydrated sour cream is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of dairy, providing calcium and protein. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated sour cream and dairy products. At typical consumption levels found in processed foods, it is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Dehydrated sour cream is derived from milk and is therefore a major allergen. It does not contain gluten.
