No. Cream is thicker and richer, with more calories. It is a thicker form of milk, really. So they probably didn’t add.

err…don’t want to sound *too* stupid…but cream comes from cows too, I don’t think you can have cream if you can’t have milk…sorry.

Starbucks, at least here in Oklahoma, has soy milk on site AND a dedicated mixer. Yes, cream is MILK, but you could see about adding soy milk instead.

If you are intollerant to milk then you can’t have cream! Cream is just another version of milk, all comes from the cow!

If I was allergic to milk, then I’d avoid anything with cream. Cream is basically the part of milk that contains fat.

Han … Cream is a richer form of milk. They’re both dairy products.

if you are allergic to milk, you are allergic to DAIRY, and I know for a fact that the creme based fraps have milk in them. The coffee based ones, I am not sure though (I think so, but not sure). Ask one of the baristas the next time you are there if it has milk in them.

They call it “liquid proprietary flavoring” (which basically contains milk, sugar, flavorings, caramel coloring and other minor ingredients in specific amounts)

No . . . cream has all the fat in it . Milk has the fat removed or “skimmed” away.

As someone who has had dairy egg and nut allergy for over 20 years the advice is leave it alone if you dont know. However I would be careful with dairy of all kinds. You say you are allergic to milk but ok with other dairy this is strange as all dairy products obviously contain milk. perhaps you have more of an intolerance to milk than an allergy.
The term allergy now refers to Type I Hypersensitivity and is characterised by excessive activation of mast cells and basophils by IgE, resulting in a systemic inflammatory response that can result in symptoms as benign as a runny nose, to life-threatening anaphylactic shock and death.
Starbucks generally do soya milk based substitutes if you ask them which can be acceptable in drinks. but if you dont know you should never take something you have an allergy to.
