Non-dairy should mean no milk.  This morning the Canadian Food Inspection Agency issued an alert to those who buy Maxim, Maxwell House and Taster's Choice non-dairy coffee mixes  These products have been produced in Korea and contain milk.
For the majority of consumers this is inconsequential, but for others this can be life threatening.

All codes of the following non-dairy Coffee Mix products, imported from Korea, are affected by this alert.

I use it because I like it and don't really care if it contains milk.

They probably discovered this when they were testing for melamine.

If these products had "milk powder" from Korea from a long time, they may have been contaminated also.

I don't believe we shall ever know the complete truth of the melamine contamination.

However, we do know that kidney stones in children have seen a drastic rise. And melamine causes kidney stones.

Kidney stones with your coffee, anyone?

One stone or two?
