    Great Value Dairy-Free Cheese Shreds Launch in Walmart Stores

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on February 26, 2021 Dairy-Free Cheese Substitute Reviews, Product Reviews

    Dairy free is truly going mainstream. Walmart is now carrying their own store brand of vegan cheese alternative, giving us hope that affordable alternatives are here to stay. Great Value Plant Based Cheese Shreds are available in three staple vegan varieties: Mozzarella, Cheddar, and Mozzarella Cheddar. Each package is free of added proteins, made without top allergens, and sold for a budget-friendly price.

    Who Makes Great Value Dairy-Free Cheese Shreds?

    Stores like Walmart rarely make their own store brand products. Instead, companies that make the products package them in the brand packaging for the store. We can’t say for sure who makes these shreds, but the ingredients are very similar to Violife and Good Planet cheese alternatives. So they will likely taste and melt similarly.

    The product was great until you recently changed your ingredients! I won’t be purchasing any longer unless it’s changed back. The new product is a 1 if I could put 0 I would. The product you just changed was a 5 if I could rate higher I would.

    As mentioned, we have not been able to find the new ingredients, and do not have access to the product directly. Once we can see images of the new label, we will update.

    I will no longer shop at Walmart

    I have been eating this cheese ever since it entered your stores. I was ecstatic walmart came out with a cheese I could actually eat. I would buy all the product on your shelf and travel from store to store. Even in different states. However I just learned you changed ingredients. I will not be purchasing these products anymore. I don’t understand how a product can be so good and get good reviews I don’t get why even something is good why people can’t leave it alone. I can’t even order the other kind anymore. It’s very aggravating. I will no longer shop at walmart. I hope you bring back the product you discontinued then I’ll be back. By the way your website still shows the product the was in stores not the new ingredients. Order customers might have a issue with this too.

    We are not affiliated with Walmart, and unfortunately, I don’t have any access to this product. Once the new ingredients are available to us, we will update. If would like to send pictures of the new packaging, that would be great.

    Best Tasting vegan cheese

    I’ve tried so many vegan cheeses and they’re all terrible. I went dairy free at age 44 due to digestive issued so I’ve eaten cheese my whole life…this GV plant based cheese is excellent. I tried it in pizza empanadas! Not fully melty but does melt. No terrible after taste. Pleasantly surprised.

    I have been vegan for 10 years and have tried all kinds of cheese substitutes…this one is by far the best. It melts great and has a great taste and texture.

    New to eating more plant based products, I’m not vegan but digestive issues are pushing me to look for alternative options. They only thing stopping me from a 5 was the melting. But the taste and texture were excellent, but I have not eaten the product by itself.

    I was a little nervous when I purchased it. However, I was so happy I did. The cheddar is great in tacos and in grilled cheese. The mozzarella is excellent on pizza. I wish they would do a pepper jack.

    I don’t really like dairy free cheese not melted, so I can’t comment on that. However, this tasted AMAZING on my grilled cheese. I’m extremely picky with cheese so I’m very impressed along with the price.

    It’s has a stinky cheesy aroma and flavor. It doesn’t melt very good when sprinkled on top of a cassarole, and instead turns into a crunchy topping. But it melts beautifully in breakfast burritos and it was golden, melty and cheesy. No one would even know it was vegan in that instance. It needs moisture to melt properly. Great Value really stepped it up with this product.
