Is Cream Lactose Free?
AvoidNo. Cream is composed of the fat layer skimmed from the top of milk (dairy), and thus typically contains lactose.
Cream and the Lactose Free Diet
Cream is a rich dairy product derived from the fatty component of milk. It is the layer that rises to the top when milk is left to stand and is then collected. Cream is a versatile ingredient used in both sweet and savory dishes due to its smooth texture and rich flavor. It contains lactose, a sugar found in milk, which can be problematic for individuals with lactose intolerance.
