What it is
Half-and-half is a dairy product made by combining equal parts of whole milk and light cream. It typically contains between 10.5% and 18% milk fat. It is pasteurized and often homogenized.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add half-and-half to products to provide a rich, creamy texture and flavor. It is commonly found in soups, sauces, baked goods like cakes and cupcakes, and coffee creamers. Its fat content contributes to mouthfeel and can help emulsify other ingredients.
Health notes
Half-and-half is a common food ingredient, not a food additive. As a dairy product, it contributes to dietary intake of fat, including saturated fat, and cholesterol. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) recommend limiting saturated fat to less than 10% of daily calories.
Allergen info
Half-and-half contains milk, which is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
