I'm one more customer you are losing because of the carrageenan in your heavy cream. I've started to make our own ice cream to avoid chemicals, not introduce more. Our Whole Foods will only carry the ultra-pasteurized version. Such a bummer. The evidence about the toxicity of carrageenan is mounting. Seems like there are a lot of others on here that feel the same way that I do.

I came here hoping to find an answer about the carrageenan in the OV heavy whipping cream, only to find that you're giving everyone the same pat answer: Don't like the Ultra-pasteurized, ask your grocer to order the regular pasteurized HWC which doesn't have the carrageenan in it. The problem with that answer is that our grocers (including Whole Foods which is where I used to get the regular version before they switched to exclusively carrying the UP version) aren't going to order a single carton for us, and I know I certainly don't have room for a whole case in my fridge. Why start offering an inferior product (and I'm obviously not alone in this feeling) and then seem surprised that people can't find both? No grocer's going to stock both (as I found out when I asked at Whole Foods) when they can carry one with a longer shelf life. They don't care if we prefer the one that whips up better, and holds the whip better, and doesn't have an ingredient in it that we don't want. Very disappointed and will be looking for a different brand of whipping cream that doesn't contain carrageenan.

I have no choice but to not buy OV's cream with carrageenan. OV's products are mostly sold are health food stores and even health food store shoppers are not yet hip to the dangers of carrageenan. But I think the momentum is growing and there will be a time when most of them will not buy a cream that has it.

Thank you for your comments, Robert! I'm very sorry to hear you're having trouble finding our traditionally pasteurized cream without carrageenan! If you haven't already, I'd recommend speaking with your local grocer to request this version. Even if they aren't able to respond to your request immediately, it's helpful to let them know your preference, as they ultimately want to provide products that shoppers want. Hope this helps, and best of luck!

I am very reactive to carrageenan -- it is an instant migraine inducer for me. Even the Whole Foods here only carries cream with carrageenan. I beg you to reconsider this ingredient as it appears as if I am not the only one who has a problem with this.

Thanks for the feedback, Michelle! We'll be sure our product team hears your comments!

I can't get your regular cream because my store will only carry your ultra pasteurized cream with carrageenan. I really don't understand why you need to add carrageenan. It is so frustrating that I can't find a simple product like heavy cream without additives.
Tracy at Organic Valley

Hi Lucy - We're so sorry to hear your local retailer is unable to order our traditionally pasteurized cream for you. Because our products are handled by independent distributors, we really have no way of knowing just which stores are carrying what products. I'd suggest using our store locator to find other OV retailers in your area. Be sure to give a call ahead to see if they stock our traditionally pasteurized cream without carrageenan. 

The reason we add carrageenan to our ultra pasteurized cream, is so it can reach its long shelf life while maintaining its smooth and creamy integrity. Without carrageenan, the cream would not only begin to separate, but the fat portion would become solid (i.e. butter). Even with shaking, this layer would most likely not break apart or go back to its liquid form. 

We do very much appreciate your comments, and will be sure our product team hears your concerns. Thanks!

I wish I could buy your heavy cream WITHOUT carrageenan. I have only found your ultra pasteurized version. While I know carrageenan is a by-product of seaweed, as a food purist and "snob", I only want the milk and heavy cream, that's it.

Do you have a list of retailers that carry this in my Philadelphia area?
Thanks for a great product!

Thanks for reaching out, Julie! I'm so sorry to hear you're having trouble finding our traditionally pasteurized cream without carrageenan. You can use our store locator to find a list of retailers in your area who carry our products. Be sure to give a call ahead to see if they stock this particular cream. Unfortunately, we don't have the ability to search for individual products by store, but it's a tool we're hoping to have someday. Best of luck! 

Robert from Miami, FL on March 31st, 2012
Yes, I understand that you make two versions of heavy whipping cream. But If you make product that is similar but with longer shelf life what do think grocers are going to carry? And why would they buy both versions? In their eyes there's no reason too. So that forces the shopper to have to burden the issue. Not happy. Love the pasture butter but this cream with carrageenan is a no go for me. Just bought it without realizing. Won't do it again.
Tracy at Organic Valley

Thank you for your comments, Robert. 

Robin from on March 27th, 2012
Obviously since this topic has been giong on since 2010 you are not going to take the carrageenan out of the ultra pasturized and it seems many of us cannot get out stores to order the cream without the carrageenan because they don't want to deal with shel-life issues. These stores are not going to be able to purchase anything but what the warehouse is willing to carry. You are losing another customer to the carrageenan. I hope to find all grassfed sourced cream anyway. I am doubting this cream is the same quality as you Sept-May butter.

We wish you the best of luck, and hope you find what you're looking for.

Hi Organic Valley,

I just wanted to thank you for the consistently amazing HWC. At 40% butterfat it stands well higher temps and cooking with versus budget priced HWC around 35/36%. I will say as a consumer I'm not one who focuses on organic product, but I do appreciate your impact on our environment. The reason I say such is because your taste is superior to any other dairy products I've come across. Oberweis is another HWC available in the area at 40% but your product still takes first in our families kitchen.

Thank you everyone at Organic Valley for your handwork and delicious products.

-Trevor F.

You're welcome, Trevor! Thank you for the fantastic compliment! We're so happy you enjoy our heavy whipping cream!

Brian from Eugene on February 12th, 2012
Thanks for the delicious cream. I also prefer the vat pasteurization method. I don't touch anything ultra-pasteurized or homogenized. Could you repost the link to your non-homo products? I tried clicking the one you posted a while back but it didn't work. Thanks!
Tracy at Organic Valley

Hi Brian - Thanks for the great feedback. Here is a list of all our non-homogenized products. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks.
