Jamba Juice: milk isn’t a dairy product

Wanna know the biggest lie uttered in the past 50 years? No, it’s not “democratically elected” or “we can still be friends,” but “non-dairy.” How many people have been burned by this one? Well, thanks to Kirk‘s latest submission, you might be ready for another round in the fire: Jamba Juice’s “non-dairy” smoothie additive contains… wait for it… dairy. Surprise! This isn’t just some confusion over some semi-obscure chemical like sodium caseinate either – the mix contains nonfat dried milk, whey, and concentrated whey protein. If you’d like to send a “non-angry” note to the company, you can do so here, or directly at 1-800-545-9972. We don’t have these guys in Toronto as far as I know, but if the company’s trying to present themselves as all natural and healthy and all that, playing the technicality game on their ingredients lists isn’t a great way to gain credibility or to keep customers.
