What to know about whipped cream
Whipped cream is dairy cream that has been aerated and usually sweetened, so its triggers are the milk ones: dairy protein (casein and whey) plus moderate lactose. The airy texture and added sugar make it feel light, but a dessert-sized dollop or a swirl from an aerosol can still delivers enough milk protein and lactose to set off a dairy allergy or lactose intolerance. Canned versions also tend to add sugar and stabilizers like carrageenan on top of the cream.
Watch for
- Contains dairy proteins (casein and whey) that drive milk allergy reactions, whipping in air does not reduce them
- Moderate lactose, so a generous topping on dessert can be enough to bother a sensitive gut
- Sweetened and often canned with added sugar and stabilizers, which is worth noting if you are watching either
