I suspect the dairy lobby pushed for a regulation requiring coffee creamers that aren’t primarily milk products to be labeled “non-dairy.” The dairy lobby used to be very powerful. Back in the day, it was forbidden for margarine to be colored yellow or to be compared to butter in advertising. I remember some brand of margarine claiming it was as good as “the 70 cent spread,” a euphemism for butter.
