Cream substitute, double

Double cream substitute is a product intended to be used in place of double cream. The figures describe the product as supplied, based on samples including Elmlea. It provides mainly fat, with smaller amounts of carbohydrate and protein. Per 100g, it contains 1423 kJ of energy, 36g of fat, 24g of saturated fat and 2.6g of protein.

Fat provides energy and helps the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins. Saturated fat can raise blood cholesterol levels, so the saturated fat and energy content are relevant for people monitoring their intake. A cream substitute is not necessarily free from milk, as ingredients vary between products. Full nutritional figures are provided in the tables below.
