Avoid these 9 Coffee Creamers (and 4 That Are Actually HEALTHY)

Nine coffee creamers, one lab-and-legal-document deep dive, and the four options that actually held up. We spent two weeks going through FDA recall notices, class action filings, and peer-reviewed research to find out what's actually in the bottle sitting in your fridge door. Nine failed. Four didn't. And the cleanest option on the list has exactly one ingredient and is sitting forty feet from the creamer aisle. Covered in this video: Great Value & store-brand creamers, Natural Bliss, Silk & Chobani plant-based creamers, Coffee-mate Zero Sugar, Coffee-mate Powder, International Delight, Dunkin' & Starbucks retail creamers, Coffee-mate Original, and MO-CHA Premium Non-Dairy Creamer — plus four brands that pass every check: Elmhurst Unsweetened Oat Creamer, Califia Farms Organic Unsweetened Almond Creamer, Mooala Simple Vanilla Bean Almondmilk, and organic heavy cream.
