Is soy cheese okay to eat for a lacto ovo vegetarian?

July 3, 2009 By 10 Comments

Soy cheese doesn’t have rennet listed as an ingredient so is it rennet free?

Yes it is, because soy isn’t from an animal. It’s like soy milk instead of milk. Soy is a plant.

    If rennet isn’t listed as an ingredient, chances are it doesn’t have rennet in it.

    Yes. It’s just soy. If it’s not in the ingredients, it shouldn’t be in the food.

    Most soy cheese are NOT vegan.

    True, they don’t contain rennet (which often comes from cow stomachs) but they do contain casein (or caseinate, etc), which is a MILK product.

    There are a couple brands of vegan soy cheese – these say “VEGAN” on them. When it comes to cheese, if it doesn’t say vegan, it’s not. It’s just lactose free.

    I think the packages are deliberately misleading and that’s a bit annoying. Or, maybe they’re just thinking about their lactose-intolerant customer base and not the vegans? Who knows…

    The only vegan cheese I’ve found that tastes any good is the Tofutti brand.
