Vegan Dairy

We ran 539 dairy through our vegan rules: 24 pass, 12 need a label check, and 298 don't make it.

By definition most of this aisle fails on the first ingredient. What passes are the plant-based stand-ins filed on the same shelf: oat, soy and coconut drinks, yogurts and cheeses. Treat this page as a map of the alternatives rather than of dairy itself.

Check the label first

For these, the data is incomplete or an ingredient can go either way. We say so instead of guessing. Tap one to see exactly what's unclear.

Verdicts are automated checks based on Open Food Facts data. Formulations change, so always confirm on the physical label.
