    they’re currently the wild west and it depends on their intended function and ingredients, in my experience (lactose intolerant ☹️)

    my first thought though was “this is a fairly handy guide for food nerds who are into crafting non dairy cheese”

      Hard cheese like cheddar doesn’t contain much lactose (if any), and is generally considered OK.

      Dairy intolerance is another matter though.

        I get symptoms from small amounts of butter and even really aged hard cheese if I don’t take lactase, so at this point I have no idea what’s up with my system. I suspect a fair amount of it is psychosomatic 😭

        I used to spend a borderline irresponsible amount of money on fancy cheese though so at least that’s one less vice :P
