WTF... Dairy in Soy Cheese?

So without reading the labels, because i didnt think i would need to, when I got home, I read the ingredients on some Soy Cheese and Soy Yogurt I had bought , only to discover that there was dairy in them...
Why?
WHY would you have dairy in something that is soy?
(oh and in the Houston area, unless you are by a Whole Foods, vegan foods are slim pickins....lol)
Yeah, it's awful. It just teaches you to ALWAYS be aware of what you're eating!
Those bastards know what they're doing too! The companies try to fool you into thinking you're buying a totally non-dairy product. When I first went veg I bought those "Veggie Slices" cheese slices, only to find out at home that they had casein in them.
Most soy/alt cheese isn't vegan.
Rice slices now has a line of vegan cheese....they say VEGAN on the front (very small) but otherwise look like their casein-lovin' cousins!
:howdy: Yeah, that's annoying. Here's a listing of some of the vegan "cheeses," and some reviews: http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=24336.msg241829#msg241829 There are some out there! I hope you can find them.
Yea, I'm usually really good with labels too!
If its in the organic section, I'll assume its vegan. BIG mistake. I just bought salad dressing that has egg yolks cause I forgot to look and I recognized the company as someone who does make some vegan ones.
:(
Always read labels.
Saddly, most of the "non-dairy" items are made for people who are lactos intolerant as opposed to their kind vegan cousins...totally annoys m that they put casin in stuff--it comes from baby animals yo! Not cool!!
I too have been a victim of Rice slices and veggie slices. So sad. :-[
ive also been a victim, but it was back when i was still vegetarian and just curious about vegan cheese. i got the cheddary block, thought it was disgusting and never finished it.. it may be a reason i didn't go vegan sooner. i was traumatized by cheese that wasnt even vegan so i was in no rush to try actual vegan cheese.. thank god for tofutti cream cheese.. it made me realize deliciousness was possible.
