Spruce up your morning joe with these vegan coffee creamers.

Black coffee? Never have we ever! Instead, we’re living in a world of vegan creamer abundance. But among the grocery store’s vegan-friendly coffee creamer lineup, where does non-dairy creamer fit in? The answer might surprise you!

Is Non-Dairy Creamer Vegan?

Picture this: you’re just about to add a bottle of non-dairy triple fudge caramel swirl coffee creamer to your shopping cart, but before you commit, you decide to check out the ingredient list. And that’s when you see it—”contains milk.” How can that be? Unfortunately, it’s not a typo or a mistake. According to the FDA, foods containing small amounts of milk derivatives, like caseinates, can still be labeled non-dairy. While non-dairy claims prevent whole dairy products like butter, cream, or milk from making their way into the ingredients, these products would still not be suitable for a vegan diet.

TL;DR all vegan creamers are non-dairy, but not all non-dairy creamers are vegan. So, always review the ingredients and check out our favorite vegan creamers!
