What it is
Sweet cream powder is made from pasteurized cream, which is the high-fat portion of milk. The cream is then dried, typically using spray-drying, to create a stable powder.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use sweet cream powder as a source of dairy flavor and fat. It also acts as a texturizer and emulsifier, helping to blend ingredients. It is commonly found in frozen meals, soups, baked goods, and confectionery.
Health notes
Sweet cream powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of saturated fat and cholesterol. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated dairy products, but no specific health concerns are typically associated with its consumption at normal levels in food.
Allergen info
