What it is
Manufacturing cream is a dairy product separated from whole milk, containing a high percentage of milk fat. It is specifically processed and standardized for use in large-scale food production. Its fat content can vary to suit different manufacturing needs.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add manufacturing cream to products to provide a rich flavor, creamy texture, and smooth mouthfeel. It is frequently used in prepared foods such as soups, sauces, desserts, and frozen meals to enhance their palatability and consistency.
Health notes
Manufacturing cream is a food ingredient, not a food additive, and is regulated by the FDA as a dairy product. As a source of saturated fat, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. Cream is a traditional food product that has been consumed for a long time.
Allergen info
Manufacturing cream is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
