Editor’s Note

If you are on a dairy-free diet and using the soy cheese option be sure to check the label as some soy cheeses have dairy-based ingredients. Casein, a milk protein, is one example of a common ingredient in soy cheese. Brands that are completely dairy-free are appearing more and more in the marketplace but you should still check the ingredients carefully.
