What it is

Cream cheese is a soft, mild-tasting fresh cheese made from milk and cream. It is typically made by combining milk and cream, then adding a bacterial culture and an enzyme called rennet to thicken it. The curds are then drained to achieve its characteristic smooth, spreadable texture.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add cream cheese for its rich flavor, creamy texture, and binding properties. It is a key ingredient in cheesecakes, frostings, dips, and savory spreads. It also adds moisture and richness to baked goods like cakes and pastries.

Health notes

Cream cheese is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of fat and calories. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar dairy products. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Cream cheese is derived from milk, which is one of the FDA's 9 major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
