What it is

Grade A Cream is the high-fat liquid portion of milk that separates from the skim milk. It is obtained by skimming or centrifuging cow's milk. The 'Grade A' designation indicates that the milk from which it was derived meets specific quality and sanitation standards set by regulatory bodies.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add cream to products primarily for its rich flavor, smooth texture, and mouthfeel. It is commonly used in dairy products like yogurt, ice cream, and dips, as well as in sauces, soups, and baked goods to add richness and creaminess.

Health notes

Cream is a dairy product and not considered a food additive by the FDA; it is regulated as a food. It is a source of dietary fat, including saturated fat. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. JECFA and EFSA do not typically evaluate basic food ingredients like cream as food additives.

Allergen info

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