Guest guest Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 Does anyone out there know what the US standards are for determining something to be " non-dairy " ? I was just in our breakroom up here at work, craving coffee, and trying to decide if I should get it black or with the powered-stuff, and I read the label. It contains: " sodium caseinate (a milk derivative). " How is that non-dairy????

California has the most comprehensive set of laws on these subjects, and there has been talk over the years of adopting the California standards on a federal level. But... it never seems to happen. And, with the current administration, I wouldn't count on it any time soon. ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 Hey y'all- All of the white powdered creamer I've seen has partially hydrogenated oils (aka " trans-fat " ), which is unhealthy. Details about trans-fat here: http://www.mercola.com/2003/jul/19/trans_fat.htm http://www.mercola.com is a good, resourceful site worth checking out. Peace...
