What it is
Real sour cream is a dairy product made by fermenting regular cream with specific kinds of lactic acid bacteria. This process thickens the cream and gives it a tangy, sour flavor. It is a traditional dairy product with a long history of use.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use sour cream as a flavoring agent, a thickener, and a source of richness in foods. Its creamy texture and tart taste make it a popular addition to dips, sauces, baked goods, and as a topping for dishes like tacos and potatoes.
Health notes
In the US, real sour cream is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of calcium and protein. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated dairy products, but specific evaluations for 'real sour cream' as a distinct ingredient are not typically highlighted. Consuming dairy products can be part of a balanced diet, and individual tolerance may vary.
Allergen info
Real sour cream is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
