:  "non-dairy" anything, including Cook Whip. Non-Dairy does not mean =
: milk-free. It is a term the dairy industry invented to indicate less =
: than 1/2% milk by weight, which could mean fully as much casein as whole =
: milk."

My understanding is that "non-dairy" is defined from the point of view of
the dairy industry, not food allergies/intolerances.  That is, a food is
labeled "non-dairy" to alert the consumer that a traditionlly dairy product
does not contain sufficient dairy products to make the dairy industry happy.

It does NOT mean No Dairy Ingredients.  It's almost always the opposite, in
my experience!
