What it is
Sour cream is a dairy product made by fermenting regular cream with certain kinds of lactic acid bacteria. This bacterial culture sours and thickens the cream, giving it a tangy flavor and a smooth, rich texture. It is a common ingredient in many cuisines and food products.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add sour cream to foods for its creamy texture, rich mouthfeel, and tangy flavor. It acts as a flavor enhancer and provides moisture in baked goods like cakes and snack cakes. It is also frequently used as a topping or ingredient in savory snacks such as chips and pretzels.
Health notes
Sour cream is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of fat, protein, and calcium. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated sour cream, and EFSA has also assessed related dairy products. Typical consumption levels are not associated with adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Sour cream is derived from milk and is therefore a major allergen. It does not contain gluten.
