What it is

Dairy creamer is a product made from milk-based ingredients, such as milk solids and cream, designed to add richness and lighten beverages. It can be found in both liquid and powdered forms.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add dairy creamer to provide a creamy texture, rich flavor, and lighter color to products. It is commonly used in coffee, tea, and other beverages, as well as in some powdered drink mixes, soups, and baked goods.

Health notes

Dairy ingredients are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). As a food product rather than a single additive, dairy creamer itself does not have an Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) set by bodies like JECFA or EFSA; however, its individual components are well-studied. For individuals with a milk allergy or lactose intolerance, consuming dairy creamer would cause adverse reactions.

Allergen info

Dairy creamer contains milk, which is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
