What it is

Nonfat sour cream is a dairy product made from skim milk, which has had most of its fat removed. It is produced by adding lactic acid bacteria to pasteurized skim milk, which causes it to thicken and develop a tangy flavor.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use nonfat sour cream as a creamy, lower-fat ingredient in dips, dressings, and sauces. It adds richness and a characteristic sour taste to foods like pickles, relishes, and prepared salads.

Health notes

Nonfat sour cream is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of protein and calcium. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated sour cream and its components. Typical consumption as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Nonfat sour cream is derived from milk, which is one of the FDA's major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
