What it is

Water cream is a dairy product made from milk. It is the fatty layer that rises to the top of milk during processing. It is essentially a form of cream with a higher water content than traditional heavy cream.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add water cream to processed foods to improve texture and mouthfeel. It can also add richness and moisture. It is commonly found in processed cheese products, sausages, and some baked goods.

Health notes

Water cream is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a food ingredient. It is a source of fat and calories. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many dairy components, but specific evaluations for 'water cream' as a distinct ingredient are not widely documented. Consuming high amounts of fat from any source can contribute to health concerns over time.

Allergen info

Water cream is derived from milk, which is one of the FDA's 9 major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
