§ 39714 Uht Cream Fat Requirement

• •UHT cream must have at least 18% milk fat.
• •If it has less than 18%, it’s not real UHT cream.
• •This rule has been in place since 1987.

You buy a carton of cream labeled 'UHT cream' at the store.

If the cream has only 15% milk fat, the store or company could be breaking the law because it doesn’t meet the 18% rule.
