Fine for occasional use
I sometimes use this if I can't get hold of buttermilk it is 85% buttermilk, it works fine for pancakes and scones albeit the results are not quite as light, and you need to adjust the recipe for the extra fat. I wouldn't use it as a cream substitute on desserts.

Grossly Misleading
Elmlea is not cream, and should not be categorised or marketed as such. It is synthetic, and consists of hydrogenated vegetable oils which are trans fats and linked to obesity and heart disease. It is marketed as a healthy alternative but it would be banned in some countries. We're better off buying the real stuff.

Yum
I hate low fat products and avoid them all but this is lovely and my fussy family cannot tell the difference. I love the long shelf life too so make sure I always have some in.

Hydrogenated oil!
This cream substitute is full of disgusting hydrogenated oil (trans fats) and therefore an even more unhealthy option than normal double cream. At least that's not been tampered with!
