Search FR Consumer Foodservice Ingredients About Us Foundation Brands Main Content FAQ General Whipped Cream Do your products contain alcohol? The production of carrageenan, which is used in many of our product, uses a compound known as isopropyl alcohol (IPA). Like methanol (methyl alcohol), IPA is not meant to be consumed and could cause serious health issues if consumed. When the carrageenan is extracted from the seaweed, it is in a water solution. Adding IPA causes the carrageenan to fall out of solution (precipitate) where it is filtered out and dried to a powder form. The drying process removes all traces of the IPA which like any alcohol, evaporates very easily. If you are concerned about halal status and the presence of ethyl alcohol (ethanol), carrageenan should be viewed as a safe ingredient. There is no ethyl alcohol present in carrageenan or used in the manufacturing of carrageenan. Is Coconut Whipped Cream made with the same equipment that process dairy?
