We are days away from Thanksgiving and it's time to buy your whipping cream! Do you know what's in it? Whipping cream isn't whipping cream anymore. Most are 36% cream and the remainder are fillers and emulsifiers. These products allow for a drastically longer shelf life. Cream should expire within a few days to weeks. Not months! You can see that the Kroger brand of heavy whipping cream expires March of 2026. The Dairygold Heavy Whipping Cream expires January 9th. But the real cream from Trader Joes....it expires in 16 days. Days instead of months.
The even bigger concern is for those with digestive issues like Colitis, IBS/IBD, Crohn's, Ulcers, Cancers of the digestive tract, acid reflux, SIBO and more, shouldn't be consuming these food preservatives because they are like putting a match to the gut. Massive inflammation and worsening of the disease.
Alpenrose at Grocery Outlet and Trader Joe's brand Heavy Whipping Cream are the real deal.
Make sure you read those labels before you buy. You may just be making a guest's digestive issues much worse before the end of dessert! Tell me in the comments where you get your real whipping cream so we can help others find healthy cream.
See comments for a few studies.
