What it is

Milk cream is the fatty part of milk that naturally rises to the top. It is separated from whole milk, typically through a process called centrifugation, which spins the milk at high speeds to divide the lighter cream from the heavier skim milk.

Why it's used

It is widely used in food manufacturing to add richness, texture, and flavor to a variety of products. Manufacturers incorporate milk cream into foods like ice cream, sauces, soups, and baked goods to provide a smooth mouthfeel and creamy consistency.

Health notes

Milk cream is a common food ingredient and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when consumed as part of a typical diet. It is a source of dietary fat, including saturated fat. JECFA and EFSA have not evaluated milk cream as a food additive, but rather as a common food component.

Allergen info

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