Remember that any product that is certified kosher pareve is guaranteed to be dairy-free, including things like casein and whey.
You can check if a product is pareve by looking for the symbol (commonly a U in a circle or a K in a star/circle/triangle/etc). If that symbol appears by itself, the product is pareve. If it has a D or says dairy, then, well, that's obvious. In a few rare cases, it might say meat, but you won't see many products like that in a regular grocery store.
(Oh, if it has a P, that does *not* necessarily mean its pareve, it means it's kosher for Passover.)
This website (http://www.kashrut.com/agencies/) shows all (or at least most) of the trademarked symbols that show a product is kosher. You won't ever see most of these, but they'll give you an idea what to look for.
There are a ton of products out there that are pareve. I know this, because I buy them all the time :) Once you start looking, you'll be surprised at how many products you can buy with confidence.
