Organic Pasteurized Cream

Organic pasteurized cream is the fatty portion of organic milk that has been separated and heated to kill harmful bacteria. It comes from cows raised on organic farms, meaning their feed and living conditions meet specific organic standards. The cream is then typically homogenized to ensure a smooth, consistent texture.

Manufacturers use cream as a rich ingredient to add flavor, texture, and moisture to foods. It contributes to the creamy mouthfeel in dairy-based products, sauces, baked goods, and desserts. It is also a key component in making butter and ice cream.

Cream is a source of fat, including saturated fat. The FDA considers cream to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for use in food. While it provides some nutrients like calcium and vitamin A, its high fat content means it should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated dairy products, but specific evaluations for cream's health impacts at typical consumption levels are not highlighted.
