General
What are cream chargers?
Cream chargers are cylinders filled with food-grade nitrous oxide (N2O), also known as E942 in the European food industry. They are commonly used by cafés, restaurants, bakeries, bars, and hospitality businesses to create whipped cream, culinary foams, mousses, and specialty beverages. Professional-grade cream chargers provide a consistent source of N2O, helping achieve smooth texture, stable foam, and reliable results in foodservice applications.
How do cream chargers work?
Nitrous oxide is released into a dispenser, aerating the cream and creating a smooth, whipped texture instantly.
What gas is used in cream chargers?
Food-grade nitrous oxide (N2O), also known as E942 in the European food industry, is used in cream chargers to create whipped cream, foams, and other culinary preparations.

Product & Compliance
What is E942?
E942 is the European food additive classification for food-grade nitrous oxide (N2O). It is widely used in the food and beverage industry for preparing whipped cream, culinary foams, mousses, and specialty drinks. Professional food-grade N2O products classified as E942 must meet specific quality and purity standards to ensure safe and consistent use in foodservice and hospitality applications.
What does UN1070 mean?
UN1070 is the international United Nations identification number used to classify and transport nitrous oxide (N2O). This designation helps ensure that food-grade N2O products are handled, stored, and transported according to recognized safety and regulatory standards. Businesses involved in the distribution and use of N2O may see the UN1070 classification on product documentation, shipping records, and compliance paperwork.
Is N2O the same as Lachgas?
Yes, N2O and Lachgas refer to the same gas: nitrous oxide. "Lachgas" is the German term for nitrous oxide (N₂O), while N2O is its chemical formula. In the food and beverage industry, food-grade N2O is classified as E942 and is commonly used in cream chargers for whipped cream, culinary foams, desserts, and specialty drinks. The terms N2O, nitrous oxide, and Lachgas are often used interchangeably depending on the language and market.
What is the difference between food-grade and industrial N2O?
Food-grade nitrous oxide (N2O) is produced and tested to meet strict quality and purity standards for use in food and beverage applications. It is commonly classified as E942 and used in cream chargers, whipped cream preparation, culinary foams, and specialty drinks. Industrial N2O is intended for non-food applications and may be subject to different manufacturing, handling, and quality requirements. Businesses should always ensure they are purchasing food-grade N2O from a reputable supplier when the product is intended for foodservice, hospitality, or culinary use.
What documents should distributors request from a supplier?
Distributors should request key compliance and quality documents before purchasing food-grade nitrous oxide (N2O). These may include a Certificate of Analysis (COA), Safety Data Sheet (SDS), product specifications, and any relevant compliance or regulatory documentation. Reviewing these documents helps verify product quality, traceability, and suitability for foodservice, hospitality, and wholesale distribution applications.
