What abbout all the people who use non dairy creamer in their coffee/tea after a fleshich meal?How is this OK?
A few reasons.
1) Very prevalent (more than cheese), although the ??? ????? is not certain of this heter.
2) If in private, according to many poskim it’s okay if the maris ayin is relating to a d’rabbonon. Many caterers only serve non-dairy creamer in the original packaging since this heter does not apply in a public setting.
3) The artificial dairy is not actually mixed with the meat as it is in the case of meat in almond milk (and Subway sandwiches). This is my own distinction; I have not seen it in the poskim.
4) If the meat is no longer around (tables were cleared) there would be additional grounds to be lenient.
