What it is
Dry cream, also known as cream powder or dried cream, is a dairy product made by removing water from liquid cream. It is produced through processes like spray-drying or roller-drying, resulting in a fine powder that retains the fat and flavor of cream.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use dry cream as a convenient source of dairy fat and flavor in a variety of food products. It is often added to dry mixes for soups, sauces, baked goods, and confectionery to provide richness and a creamy texture without the spoilage issues of liquid cream.
Health notes
Dry cream is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of saturated fat, and like all fats, should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated dairy products, and their safety is well-established. No significant health controversies are associated with its typical use in food.
Allergen info
Dry cream is derived from milk and is therefore a major allergen. It does not contain gluten.
