Sr Cream

Sour cream is a dairy product made by fermenting regular cream with lactic acid bacteria. This process thickens the cream and gives it a distinct tangy flavor.

It is widely used in cooking and baking to add richness, moisture, and a tart taste. Manufacturers use it in dips, dressings, sauces, and desserts, as seen in products like caramel cheesecake dips.

Sour cream is a common food ingredient, not typically regulated as an additive. It is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when consumed as part of a typical diet. As a dairy product, it contains fat and calories, and individuals with lactose intolerance may experience digestive discomfort, though fermentation reduces lactose content. JECFA and EFSA do not typically evaluate common food ingredients like sour cream for acceptable daily intake (ADI) limits.
