Whole cream milk

I ran across a bread recipe that calls for Whole cream milk. I buy milk at the grocery store that's labeled "whole milk". Do you think it is the same milk with different names?

"Whole cream milk" has an English sound to it, while "whole milk" sounds like the US.  US whole milk would have 4% butterfat content.

I found this on line, from a UK site:

"Full cream milk gets its name because it contains whole milk fat. There is almost 3.5 % fat in one glass of whole cream milk"

(see https://kidadl.com/facts/where-does-milk-come-from-dairy-farm-facts-explained-for-kids)

This is definitely not a US product specification, since in the US it would need to be 4% butterfat.

You'll have better results if you denature your milk before adding it to your recipie.
