Heavy cream, half-n-half....carrageenan

[Guest guest]

At the website carrageenan is listed as an illegal. In the book it

says you can make yogurt using half-n-half or heavy cream. Every

cream or half-n-half that I pick up has this illegal in it and most

also have something called sodium citrate and disodium phosphate.

It does say that they contain less than 1% of these ingredients.

The half-n-half that I find without the illegal carrageenan says that

one of the ingredients is cream. Does that mean that that cream has

the illegal in it?

Can I use these to make yogurt?

Thanks

no, that one is all right. half and half is half milk and half cream.

if it had carrageenen in it, it would say.

Trader Joe's has half and half and cream, both without carrageenan,

if you have one near you.
