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. Most soy cheese are NOT vegan.
