Yes, but watch for casein (milk protein) that appears in many soy cheeses. There are vegan cheeses on the market, but you will have to read the label carefully.

Watch out for casein, which finds its way into too many soy cheeses. Casein is a dairy protein that helps soy cheese melt. It also ends up in so-called nondairy creamers.

Most soy cheese on the market contains some milk ingredients like whey or casein. It may be a small percentage, but for people who are highly sensitive to dairy products, or philosophically apposed, this may be a concern. Make sure to check the ingredients. I use some for my children, but it doesn't have as rich a taste as real cheese. We've just cut back on those foods that require it.

As a vegan I was very upset to find out that milk protein is in soy cheese, It is disquised as soy cheese or veggie cheese. I read all labels now!!!I only found out by checking on what rennet is, which is a veal cows stomache lining, a substitute can be found in figs.
