What it is

Pasteurized cream is the fatty portion of cow's milk, separated from the skim milk. It is then heated to a specific temperature for a set amount of time to kill harmful bacteria. This process ensures safety while preserving the rich flavor and texture of the cream.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use pasteurized cream for its rich flavor, creamy texture, and ability to add body to foods. It is a key ingredient in dairy products like sour cream, ice cream, and butter, and is also used in sauces, soups, and baked goods to enhance richness and mouthfeel.

Health notes

Pasteurized cream is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of saturated fat and cholesterol. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated cream, and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has also assessed related dairy products. Typical consumption as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects, but high intake of saturated fat can be a concern for heart health.

Allergen info

Pasteurized cream is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
