Has a "non-dairy" smoothie mix that contains milk protein.
Notice "non-dairy Smoothie Mix" on their website pages: profile, menu
I think they used to have ingredients on their website, but they've taken them down.
See the Casein page for more info.
2002/12/01:
I had a "non-dairy" smoothie at Surf City Squeeze on Market.
It tasted a little too dairy, and finally I got suspicious enough
to double check, I asked the counter workers again if it was non-dairy
like the menu said, and they said it was. I noticed they sell the mix,
and I asked to see the ingredients, and sure enough it contained Casein.
Unfortunately I had already finished 2/3rds of the smoothie, and so the
next morning I was extremely ill, as I normally get when I ingest casein.
2003/08/25: Received mail from Rachel Ouellet (rachael.ouellet sdcounty.ca.gov).
They wrote Surf City and they acknowledged that the label was a bit inaccurate
but it met FDA guidelines. They are working on removing the non-dairy print
from their stores (this was about a month ago)
Perhaps it's time to change things at the FDA?
