What it is
Pasteurized cream is the fatty part of milk that has been heated to kill harmful bacteria. Natural flavoring is a substance derived from plant or animal sources that adds taste to food. The specific source of the natural flavoring is not disclosed by the manufacturer.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add pasteurized cream for richness and texture, and natural flavoring to enhance or impart specific tastes. They are commonly found in dairy products, baked goods, snacks, and confectionery.
Health notes
Pasteurized cream is a common dairy ingredient and is generally recognized as safe by the FDA. Natural flavoring is also generally recognized as safe by the FDA. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many flavoring substances. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption of these ingredients.
Allergen info
Pasteurized cream is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Natural flavoring is not typically a major allergen, but its source could potentially be an allergen; however, specific labeling for this is not required if it's part of a 'natural flavor' declaration.
