What You Should Know

You’d spot this in the chilled dairy-alternative section or plant-based aisle when grabbing vegan cheese for pizza night or a quick sandwich. It gives a comforting, indulgent, slightly nostalgic vibe—designed to mimic melty mozzarella without dairy. The ingredient list and additives (starches, gums, isolated proteins, oils and ‘natural flavors’) point to ultra-processed manufacturing that creates a smooth, meltable texture unlike whole-food cheeses.
