Organic Milk And Cream

Organic milk and cream are dairy products from cows raised on certified organic feed, without certain pesticides or fertilizers. Cream is the high-fat layer skimmed from the top of milk. Both are common ingredients in many dairy-based foods.

Milk and cream add richness, flavor, and a creamy texture to foods. They are primary ingredients in ice cream, sour cream, and other dairy products. Manufacturers also use them as a base for sauces, baked goods, and beverages.

Milk and cream are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are natural sources of calcium, vitamin D (if fortified), and protein. While generally safe, some individuals may have lactose intolerance or milk allergies. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various dairy components, but specific evaluations for 'organic milk and cream' as a combined ingredient are not typically noted.
