Have You Read The Label ?

 3 in 1 coffee is popular due to its convenience.

The handy packet displays the ingredients which include non-dairy creamer.

What is non-dairy creamer ?




Such creamer contains casein. Casein is a milk protein that can trigger reactions in those with milk allergies. It is added to non-dairy creamer to create a milky flavour and texture.

How can you have cream if you have no dairy? Hydrogenated palm oil, also known as trans fat give "creamers" the creamy look, feel, and flavour. Trans fat increases your bad (LDL) cholesterol.

Sodium aluminosilicate is an ingredient added to keep powdered creamer from caking. It contain sodium, aluminium, silicon and oxygen. Sodium aluminosilicate has the labeling standard food additive code number E554.
