Want to hear something interesting? You can use the OUD non-dairy creamer in your coffee after eating meat.

It’s simple, really. If you look at the ingredient panel you’ll notice it says that it contains less than 2% milk (if you find one that doesn’t, this doesn’t apply). Now, bitul b’shishim is about 1.6% which is pretty close to that. But you aren’t drinking the creamer straight, you’re putting into your coffee. That means that there’s no chance that the milk won’t go under 1.6% of the total volume, which means it’ll automatically be batel! Normally we may not be mevatel lechatchila, but here you aren’t being mevatel any issur (the milk isn’t “issur”; you just can’t mix it with milk) so it’s allowed. (It is also possible that one is not allowed to do this type of bitul with the intention of mixing the final product with actual meat, but here that you are just drinking it after meat there is far more reason to be lenient.)

Others may disagree, but this is my opinion.
