What it is

Grade A milk and cream are dairy products from cows. Milk is the liquid produced by mammary glands, and cream is the high-fat layer skimmed from the top of milk. Both are pasteurized and often homogenized for consistency and safety.

Why it's used

Milk and cream are used as ingredients to add richness, flavor, and a creamy texture to a wide variety of foods. They are fundamental in dairy products like ice cream, sour cream, and cheese, and also appear in baked goods, sauces, and beverages.

Health notes

Milk and cream are recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for general use in food. They are a natural source of calcium, vitamin D (if fortified), and protein. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated dairy products. While generally considered safe, some individuals have lactose intolerance or milk allergies.

Allergen info

Milk is one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. Products containing milk or cream must be clearly labeled.
