I'm sure you all get this a lot, but curiosity has gotten the better of me- would anyone happen to know if the ingredients have changed recently? My mother went to a Greek deli on the weekend and came back with a soy-based cheese branded as "Soybean Cheese (Mini Chol)- product of Sweden". The ingredients listed are: Coagulated non-fat soy milk bean, sunflower vegetable oil, salt, non-animal rennet (E5090), sodium nitrate (E251), natamycin (E235), potassium sorbate (E202).
I did a google search and I'm told those are all vegan ingredients. I'm a little confused though as my lactose-intolerant stepfather has been eating mini-chol for years and past inspections of the label indicated the inclusion of casien.
Damn Mini Chol, it was vegan once. I feel too scorned to see if they've decided to take out the casein to have checked again. I shall have a look today.

Alrighty, a check of the mini chol cheese in the deli states that the first ingredient is Coagulated Non-Fat Milk. I think it sorta used to be suitable (if thats possible, haha) for lactose intolerate people because what made it non-vegan was casein rather than having it completely made from milk. Now it looks like they're just going the whole way.
Woe. It would be nice to see a list of consistent ingredients from mini-chol. I think I'll stick with the tofutti/cheezly.
Odd that they're just doing away with the whole 'soy-based dairy-free' thing though. Seems to very much defeat the purpose.
I checked today and those are the ingredients listed, except you worded one part wrong, it says coagulated non-fat milk soy bean (you said soy milk bean), so I'm wondering if it just means soy milk bean (as you said) or it means milk then the next ingredient is soy bean. Also I didn't see casein which means they removed it!

There's definitely a comma between the Non-Fat Milk and Soya Bean on the ones that I have looked at.
There's probably not a lot of point stressing over cheese that apparently keeps changing its ingredients when there are proven vegan cheeses on the market.

I haven't really found a vegan cheese that I'm fond of, so if this was vegan it would be another for me to try. Plus they sell it just down the road from me.
Just wish they had damn contact information.

I typed then ingredients out exactly as they were listed on the label. Could it perhaps be a hybrid dairy-milk/ soy-milk base? I'd love a contact number just to have some clarification. Such varied ingredients for the one product!
kimberleyfrancess- you do have a very valid point there!
