What it is

Cream is the high-fat layer that rises to the top of milk before homogenization. Grade A organic cream comes from milk produced by cows raised according to organic farming standards, without synthetic pesticides or hormones.

Why it's used

Cream is widely used in food manufacturing to add richness, flavor, and a smooth texture. It is a key ingredient in products like sour cream, ice cream, sauces, and baked goods, contributing to their creamy consistency and mouthfeel.

Health notes

Cream is a common food ingredient and not regulated as a food additive by the FDA. As a dairy product, it contains saturated fat. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. JECFA and EFSA typically evaluate food additives, not basic food ingredients like cream.

Allergen info

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