Sodium caseinate was listed. Then below the ingredients, it said, "Contains: milk, soy." I assume that's allergy information. I know casein is derived from milk. But then, at the bottom of the package, I noticed: "This is a non-dairy creamer." Wait a minute... you just told me it contains milk, so how can it be non-dairy? This is why I don't eat things I can't pronounce.

I don't touch the stuff anyway ... too many chemicals. But I know some people who think it's non-dairy and ok in coffee. They need to know. "In their behavior toward creatures, all men are Nazis.

My beau can't take it, and it's even upset my cast-iron stomach. "In their behavior toward creatures, all men are Nazis. Human beings see oppression vividly when they're the victims.

Found Galaxy vegan rice based cheese last night at the market so I'm going to try that one - got the cheddar variety to "benchmark" with before we move on to others like mozzarella for hubby's home made whole wheat pizza. --Deb

I only tried the cheddar flavor, but really enjoyed it. It melts nicely and tastes as close to real cheddar as anything I've found.

It's made with coconut milk (but is surprisingly fat free). It tastes JUST like half & half. I even have all of my non-vegan friends using it!

Ooooooo ... thanks so much for that tip! I agree, I thought I would not be able to become completely vegan because I would miss the milk in my coffee but So Delicious has saved me!
