What it is

Fresh milk is the lacteal secretion of cows or goats, typically pasteurized for safety. Cream is the high-fat layer skimmed from the top of milk. Both are natural dairy products.

Why it's used

Milk and cream are used in a wide variety of foods for their rich flavor, creamy texture, and nutritional value. They are fundamental ingredients in dairy products like ice cream, yogurt, and cheese, and also add richness to baked goods, sauces, and beverages.

Health notes

Milk and cream are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are primary sources of calcium and vitamin D, important for bone health. The WHO/IARC has evaluated dairy products, but has not classified them as carcinogenic to humans. Evidence on the health effects of dairy consumption is mixed, with some studies suggesting benefits for bone health and others raising concerns about saturated fat intake.

Allergen info

Milk is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It is not gluten-containing.
