What it is
Sweet cream is the fatty part of milk that rises to the top before homogenization. It is separated from whole milk, often pasteurized, and can be used to make butter or consumed as cream. 'Organic' indicates that the cream comes from cows raised according to organic farming standards.
Why it's used
Sweet cream is primarily used for its rich flavor and creamy texture in a wide range of food products. It is a key ingredient in dairy products like butter, ice cream, and yogurt, and is also used in sauces, soups, and baked goods to add richness and mouthfeel.
Health notes
Sweet cream is a common food ingredient and not regulated as a food additive by the FDA. As a dairy product, it is generally recognized as safe when consumed as part of a balanced diet. The FDA does not set ADIs for basic food ingredients like cream. Health implications are generally tied to its fat content, similar to other dairy products.
Allergen info
Sweet cream is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
