Mozzarella Style Cheese Slices
by Nafsika S Garden
A highly processed vegan cheese alternative that relies heavily on refined coconut oil and modified starches for texture. While free from dairy allergens, it lacks nutritional density and contains preservatives.
- Water – safe · Primary ingredient providing moisture and structure to the product.
- Refined Coconut Oil – controversial · High in saturated fat and heavily processed, though provides the fat content needed for cheese-like texture.
- Modified Potato Starch – safe · Chemically modified starch used as a thickener and stabilizer, generally recognized as safe.
- Modified Tapioca Starch – safe · Another modified starch for texture enhancement, commonly used in processed foods.
- Sea Salt – safe · Natural salt source that's less processed than table salt, provides essential minerals.
- Natural Vegan Flavors – safe · Plant-derived flavoring compounds to mimic cheese taste, generally safe but highly processed.
- Sorbic Acid – safe · Common preservative that prevents mold and yeast growth, considered safe in typical amounts.
- B-Carotene – beneficial · Natural orange pigment and precursor to vitamin A, provides some nutritional benefit.
