Whipping cream substitute is a product used in place of dairy whipping cream. The figures supplied describe samples including Elmlea. It mainly provides fat, with smaller amounts of carbohydrate and protein. Per 100g, it contains 1204 kJ of energy, 30g of fat, including 26g of saturated fat, and 3.3g of carbohydrate.
Fat supplies energy and helps the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins. Most of the fat in this product is saturated, which is worth noting for people monitoring their saturated fat intake. Its energy content is also relevant for those watching their overall energy intake. Ingredients and nutrient amounts may differ between brands, so product labels provide additional information. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.

About these figures
Values are per 100g of the food as described (4 samples, including Elmlea). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.
These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: LGC, Nutrient analysis of ‘other’ milk and cream, 1998. Fatty acids from Fatty Acid Supplement (1998) 12-846.
