Coffee Mate — Is It Perishable?

January 9th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Coffee Science, Non-Dairy Creamer

There is no dairy in Coffee Mate (liquid) creamers as far as I can tell… so how long can you leave it out on the counter without it going bad?

Observation: I have left both Coffee Mate and International Delight out for a day or two and they didn’t seem to go bad.

Observation: The bottle says it should be refrigerated at all times.

Conclusion: Since Coffee Mate (and the like) looks a lot like a dairy product, they print that on the bottle for liability’s sake. But, when in doubt, follow the instructions.
