What it is

Grade A cultured cream is a dairy product made from cream that has had a starter culture of bacteria added to it. This culture ferments lactose (milk sugar) into lactic acid, which thickens the cream and gives it a tangy flavor. The 'Grade A' designation indicates it meets specific quality standards set by the USDA.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use cultured cream as a thickener and flavor enhancer in foods. Its rich, tangy taste makes it a popular ingredient in dips, sour cream alternatives, salad dressings, and baked goods like cakes and cheesecakes.

Health notes

Grade A cultured cream is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a food ingredient. It is a source of fat and protein. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated cultured cream and related dairy products. Typical consumption as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Cultured cream is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
