Regarding Canning cream sauce

by Sally
(Philippines)

I'm planning to can carbonara sauce but your response to the question that canning cream sauce is not safe because it consist of milk and cream, why is this so?


Hi again Sally,

The only response I can give is because the USDA says so. They have done extensive research on what is or is not safe and recommend that dairy products not be canned.

I know that is not a very informational answer :o(

I just did a search to see if I could find an explanation of why this is but I did not find anything.

Sorry I am not of more help. Does anyone else have any ideas or information?

starstarstarstarstar 		Canning milk or dairy products - a no no!
by: Bobbie

I was wondering specifically why it was dangerous to can the above products as well, since I know in the 'olden days' peopled canned whole, unpasteurized milk.

Here are some more scientific reasons that I found in a canning forum, as to why this can be a very dangerous practice:

"Dairy products contain fat which insulate botulism spores from heat.

Canning with dairy is a dangerous practice. "

"The reason: The fats in oil and dairy products encapsulate any bacteria in the product including botulism and this encapsulation prevents the heat used in the canning process from killing the bacteria."

Stay safe!
