This whole thread is ridiculous.

1. The OU does not control what is on the product label. The OU cannot tell a company what to call its products. If it tries the manufacturer will tell it to take a hike. The only thing the OU controls is its trademarked symbol, and the symbol on non-dairy creamers is OU-D.

2. Even if a manufacturer were willing to accommodate the OU’s request, they can’t. They are legally required to label these products “non-dairy”, because that is what they are. As laskern says it’s unlawful to mislabel something, and therefore these products cannot be labeled “dairy”. That also answers NC’s concerns about ethics.
