More Allergen Notes
We received the following very detailed and helpful information from a Violife representative about their dairy allergen protocols.
Regarding dairy ingredients, please note that we do share lines in some parts of the production process. However, we clean our equipment VERY meticulously, with multiple allergen swab testings to confirm absence of cross-contamination with dairy. Furthermore, production samples are sent to an accredited lab for allergen analysis. Our results are consistently negative for the presence of any dairy allergens.
Please note though that testing for absence of any dairy allergen is conducted as mentioned via multiple swab testing with a 0.4ppm* sensitivity after the weekend full cleaning. Once negative results are achieved our vegan production can commence Monday morning. We must stress that a negative result at 0.4ppm means that there is no dairy allergens present in concentration above that point.
*PPM = part per million, or less than 0.4 mg allergen in 1 Kg of product, or less than 0.01 mg in 20gr (1 slice) of product. 1mg = One thousandth of a gram.
As stated, the aforementioned allergens are not detectable by our testing. We have never had an issue and we export globally.

How do you get it melt?
We have tried to melt the mozzarella shreds, on the stove, in the oven, on the grill, and in the microwave…we can’t seem to get it to melt…it gets hot and turns black and crunchy (burns) but doesn’t melt! Is there a secret to making it melt? Best TASTING cheese we have found…just wish it would melt!
Best dairy free cheese
I’ve recently had to go dairy free for health concerns. I have tried a lot of different brands of DF cheese and this is THE one to buy! The flavour and texture is identical to real cheese. I bought the mature cheddar style slices and love it so much. It was worth the switch for me!
Mold
So disappointed to get home and try this, Only to open a brand new package of moldy “cheese”.
Best shredded cheese yet!
Tastes just like real cheese. And has the best shelf life of all the dairy-free shredded cheeses I’ve tried. Also, doesn’t stick to the roof of your mouth when baked on a pizza.
SO GOOD
Best Vegan Cheese I’ve had yet! I’ve tried so many brands and this one is my favourite
Amazing!!!
I am recently had to eliminate dairy, and I surprised with this feta cheese.For me It is the same taste and flavor, milk cheese.. I loved!!! I want to try anothers kind of.
Love
I am a cheese lover. I recently had to eliminate dairy and the mozzarella and cheddar are really good. I feel like I’m eating real cheese. I haven’t tried melting it though and I’ve only tried the shreds.
feta
The feta might be the best vegan cheese I have ever tried. It is only available at Walmart. I never shop Walmart but I make special trips ever two weeks to stock up. Amazing in Greek salad and pizza.
For New Vegans this will SATIFY your craving for CHEESE
It is a great taste just like cheddar cheese. This is perfect for those starting a vegan diet that had a cheese addiction like I had!! You will LOVE IT!
Their cheese is 1000% wonderful!
I have been getting their Mozzarella from Amazon for a long time as when I tried them, I was totally amazed at how wonderful they are. Granted they are a bit salty but hey, you do not need to add salt to anything you use the Mozzarella cheese on. Also, the Cheddar cheese is wonderful. I get that at Walmart. I am very impressed at how wonderful their cheese is!
