What it is

Heavy cream is the high-fat layer skimmed from the top of milk. It is pasteurized, a process of heating to kill harmful bacteria, and graded 'Grade A' based on quality standards.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add heavy cream for its rich flavor and creamy texture. It acts as a fat source and emulsifier, helping to bind ingredients. It is commonly found in frozen appetizers, entrees, sides, and deli items.

Allergen info

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