What it is
Milk and sour cream solids are dried forms of milk and sour cream. They are made by removing water from milk or cultured cream, often through spray drying. This process concentrates the milk solids and sour cream components.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add milk and sour cream solids to provide a rich, creamy flavor and texture to baked goods and other foods. They can also contribute to browning and act as a source of fat and protein. They are commonly found in cakes, muffins, pastries, and snack cakes.
Health notes
Milk and sour cream solids are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as food ingredients. They are a natural part of dairy products and, when consumed in typical amounts as part of a balanced diet, are not associated with adverse health effects. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated dairy components, and no specific concerns have been raised regarding their use in food.
Allergen info
Milk is one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. Therefore, milk and sour cream solids are considered a major allergen.
