What it is

Light whipping cream is a dairy product made from the high-fat layer skimmed from milk. It typically contains between 30% and 36% milk fat. This fat content allows it to be whipped into a stable foam.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add light whipping cream to foods to provide a rich, creamy texture and flavor. It is often used in desserts, sauces, soups, and savory entrees. Its ability to thicken and emulsify also contributes to the overall mouthfeel of many products.

Health notes

Light whipping cream is a common food ingredient and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of saturated fat. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. As a basic food ingredient, it is not typically evaluated by JECFA or EFSA in the same way as food additives.

Allergen info

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