They definitely have a milchig ingredient.

Here’s the ingredients list for International Delight French Vanilla Coffee Creamer:

NON-DAIRY PRODUCT INGREDIENTS: WATER, CANE SUGAR, PALM OIL, CONTAINS 2% OR LESS OF EACH OF THE FOLLOWING: SODIUM CASEINATE* (A MILK DERIVATIVE), DIPOTASSIUM PHOSPHATE, NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL FLAVORS, MONO AND DIGLYCERIDES, SODIUM STEAROYL LACTYLATE, POLYSORBATE 60, CARRAGEENAN, SALT.

*SODIUM CASEINATE IS NOT A SOURCE OF LACTOSE.

How could it be that there’s a government regulation that it must say non-dairy in big letters if most don’t? (I believe the words “non-dairy” only appear with the ingredients, which clearly show a milchig ingredient.) I suspect that it’s a bubbe maisah.
