First introduced in 1961 as a convenient 'true convenience product', COFFEE-MATE has long been positioned as a non-dairy option. This often leads to the core question: is COFFEE-MATE considered a milk product, or is it truly dairy-free?

According to Oatly's official product page, the vanilla oatmilk creamer uses a base of water and oats to create its smooth texture. This vegan and gluten-free formula contains a concise list of ingredients designed to deliver a creamy, vanilla flavor to your coffee without the use of dairy.

A single tablespoon of some International Delight creamers contains 5 grams of added sugar, but the specific sweeteners used vary significantly by product line. What sweetener does International Delight use truly depends on whether you choose a standard flavor, a 'Zero Sugar' option, or a product intended for the Canadian market.

Despite being labeled 'non-dairy,' most International Delight coffee creamers contain a milk-derived protein called sodium caseinate. This key ingredient means that while they are lactose-free, they are not completely dairy-free and can affect those with milk protein allergies.

According to Chobani's official website, their Zero Sugar Coffee Creamer is made without any artificial sweeteners. Instead of using lab-made compounds like sucralose, the creamer gets its sweetness from a combination of natural alternatives: allulose and stevia extract.

Over 1.3 billion people worldwide are lactose intolerant, leading many to seek non-dairy alternatives for their morning coffee. While Nestlé Coffee Mate is often marketed as 'non-dairy,' a closer look at the ingredients reveals a key milk derivative that can be confusing for those with allergies or on a vegan diet.

According to product information from Nestle, a single tablespoon of regular French Vanilla Coffee Mate liquid creamer contains approximately 30-35 calories, while the zero sugar version contains about 15 calories. Counting calories by the tub is inaccurate, as the total depends entirely on the serving size and amount consumed.

While often used for a similar purpose in coffee, Coffee Mate Original and half and half are fundamentally different products. The key distinction lies in their ingredients: half and half is a dairy product made from milk and cream, whereas Coffee Mate is a non-dairy creamer composed of corn syrup solids, vegetable oil, and other additives.

Over 60% of consumers seek out plant-based dairy alternatives, but many are left confused by labeling that can be unclear. We investigate: is Coffee Mate Hazelnut creamer vegan? The traditional liquid and powdered versions contain a milk derivative, making them unsuitable for a strict vegan diet.
