What it is

Organic pasteurized sweet cream is the fatty part of organic milk that rises to the top before homogenization. It is separated from whole milk, then heated to a specific temperature for a set time (pasteurization) to kill harmful bacteria, and then quickly cooled. 'Sweet' refers to its natural, unsoured flavor.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use organic pasteurized sweet cream primarily for its rich flavor, smooth texture, and fat content. It is a key ingredient in products like butter, cheese, and various snacks, contributing to the overall mouthfeel and taste.

Health notes

Organic pasteurized sweet cream is a common food ingredient and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. As a dairy product, it contains saturated fat. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) recommend keeping saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. Major international bodies like JECFA and EFSA typically evaluate food additives rather than primary food ingredients like cream.

Allergen info

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