What You Should Know

You'd find these in the refrigerated plant-based cheese/alt-dairy section, handy for quick sandwiches, burgers, or melty game-day snacks. The product feels indulgent and nostalgic (pepper jack spice and sliceable form) while also marketed as a wholesome, dairy-free alternative; its smooth, meltable texture and shelf stability come from industrially processed oils, starches, and flavor extracts that mimic traditional cheese.
