What it is
Sour cream solids are made by drying liquid sour cream. This process removes most of the water, leaving a concentrated powder. The powder retains the tangy flavor and creamy characteristics of sour cream.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use sour cream solids as a flavoring agent and to add a creamy texture to foods. They are commonly found in snack foods like chips, pretzels, and snack mixes, as well as in some soups and baked goods.
Health notes
Sour cream solids are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are a source of dairy and can contribute to the intake of calcium and protein. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated dairy products, and sour cream solids fall under these general evaluations. No specific health concerns are associated with typical consumption levels.
Allergen info
Sour cream solids are derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
