What it is

Cream is a dairy product made from the high-fat layer that rises to the top of milk. It is separated from whole milk, typically through a process called centrifugation. Cream contains a higher concentration of milk fat than milk.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add cream to foods to provide richness, a smooth texture, and a desirable flavor. It is a key ingredient in many dairy products, desserts, sauces, and baked goods, contributing to their creamy consistency and mouthfeel.

Health notes

Cream is a common food ingredient and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when used as intended. It is a source of dietary fat, including saturated fat. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend keeping saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. JECFA and EFSA do not typically evaluate basic food ingredients like cream as food additives.

Allergen info

Cream is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
