Vegan cheese, on the other hand, is made from plant-based ingredients like nuts, seeds, and soy, which are naturally lactose-free. But here's the thing: some vegan cheeses can still contain small amounts of lactose if they're made with ingredients like casein, a milk protein. It's like finding out your favorite "healthy" snack has hidden ingredients - it's a bummer, but you can still make informed choices.
For instance, let's say you're at a vegan restaurant and they offer a vegan mac and cheese made with a cashew-based cheese sauce. Sounds delicious and safe, right? But if you ask the chef, they might reveal that they use a small amount of casein to give it a creamier texture. It's not a deal-breaker, but it's good to know what you're getting into.
