Questions about cream

Four questions chosen by the facts above, so every food answers differently.

How many calories are in a portion of cream?

A typical portion (30 g, two tablespoons of cream) gives 149 kcal. Per 100 g the figure is 496 kcal.

Is cream high in vitamin A?

Yes. Cream, fresh, double, including Jersey cream has 0.86 mg vitamin A per 100 g, 108 % of the NRV, above the 30 % threshold for a “high in” claim.

Which vitamins and minerals does cream have most of?

By share of the daily reference intake: vitamin A (0.86 mg, 108 %), vitamin B12 (0.0006 mg, 24 %) and iodine (0.035 mg, 23 %) per 100 g.

Is cream high in salt?

No. Salt is 0.06 g per 100 g, which is very low under UK rules.

How these numbers were made

Every figure comes from the UK Composition of Foods Integrated Dataset (CoFID), 2021 edition, record 12-334, Cream, fresh, double, including Jersey cream, 22 analysed samples, published by Public Health England under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Main data references: Reviewed 2013. LGC, Nutrient analysis of ‘other’ milk and cream, 1998. Fatty acids as Fatty Acids Supplement (1998) 12-843. Vitamin K1 Bolton-Smith et al, Br J Nutr, 83, 2000. Values are per 100 g of the edible part; a serving is 30 g, two tablespoons of cream, the usual UK portion for dairy. Reference intakes follow Regulation (EU) 1169/2011 Annex XIII as retained in GB law; “source of”, “high in” and “low” follow Regulation (EC) 1924/2006, assessed per 100 g. Function lines are the authorised wording from the GB register of nutrition and health claims, credited to the nutrient. Energy is rounded to the whole kcal and kJ; other amounts to one decimal, or two below 1. A trace is shown as “trace” and never gets a figure or a badge; a nutrient never analysed is left off the page. We start from the dataset’s 2,887 records and keep 2,322: records weighed with bone, shell or skin, alcoholic drinks, infant foods, brand-named products, records with fewer than eight measured vitamins and minerals and near-identical variants are left out. Group context uses the 99 dairy kept from the dataset; a rank counts only the foods with a measured figure for that nutrient. Food images are illustrations from Ingredient Atlas, released under CC0; they show the food, not the measured sample. Checked 5 October 2026. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
