• Powdered non-dairy creamer or coffee whitener has become an
increasingly important ingredient used to replace milk powder in white
coffee or tea, beverages, culinary and other food preparation. It is
more economical, has good shelf life and is easy to handle. This non-
dairy creamer industry is deeply affected by the government policy and
alimentary codex. United States food and Drug Administration (FDA)
declared that since January 1, 2006, they required all ingredients list
of foods’ packaging must be marked clearly the content of trans-fatty
acids. Since then, the Netherlands, France, Sweden, etc. enact
legislation setting limit on trans-fatty acids, and it usually dictates
fewer than 5%: the Dutch below 5%, French below 3.8%, and the
Swedish below 5%. We tend to believe this industry now is mature, and
the consumption increasing degree will show a smooth rising curve.
