Horrible taste change

I bought these cheese weekly for many years now. It was perfect, mild and tasted just like dairy cheddar to me. I had tried so many bad vegan cheeses before this brand and it was game changing. I opened the bag today and it was awful. Smelled terrible, tasted off. Honestly tasted like the bad vegan cheeses I went through in the past. I saw on the bag it was a new "improved" recipe. I am devastated. I loved this cheese and now I have nothing to replace it. I can't buy this anymore so I am going to have to go back to testing other brands. I'm so disappointed. My assumption for the change must be cost. It makes no sense otherwise. This new recipe must be cheaper. And it tastes like it 🤢

This was honestly a life savor for us. My toddler isn’t lactose intolerant she’s got an actual anaphylactic allergy to cows milk. Can’t even touch her after touching it or she gets hives, I would either make her a separate dinner or eat after she went to bed and felt like I was leaving her out :( but with this she gets cheesy eggs, homemade lunchables, and her favorite pizza breads and is so happy I eat with her. I personally haven’t tried it but she loves it
WHY? Why change something that was so good?

This used to be my go to cheese, I would buy multiple bags at a time. Apparently the recipe changed and it’s just not good anymore. I thought the bag I got was bad, but then I got another and it’s terrible. I’m crushed. Please let me know when the recipe changes back!!
Fast molding

I bought this cheese a week ago. It's already molded and says it should not go bad until SEPTEMBER. It has been my favorite vegan cheese so far for someone who has a dairy allergy, but seems like somewhat false advertising to me.
Need Old Formula Back!

I used to buy this cheese all the time. It was tasted good, especially compared to competitors vegan cheese, but most importantly it was free from ingredients that I can't eat which nearly all said competitors use. Much to my surprise, I opened the latest package this evening and immediately knew something was off. The cheese was slimy looking and not at all like usual. Suspicious due to multiple food sensitivities, I checked the ingredient list. To my dismay, it now contains citric acid- one of the things I cannot eat. Thank goodness I saw the difference and checked! Why do you have to go and ruin a good product?
Used to be good

I used to love this brand. It was the only vegan cheese I could eat by itself and I used it for everything. Since they changed the recipe, it is awful. The texture is as if someone left cheese sitting out on the counter and it got dry. The taste is awful now. I'm so sad they changed the recipe so I have to find a different brand. I hope they read these reviews and go back to the old recipe which didn't need to be changed at all!!
New shreds formula is horrible.

Like many others have said, I was a huge fan of your cheese prior to this formula change. The cheddar cheese tastes and looks nothing like your old formula. It is now just like many other horrible, chemical tasting gross products on the market. I assume this was some kind of cost cutting measure. Won't matter when sales nose dive. I suggest you revert back.
Delicious and melty

I have been purchasing Violife cheese for years and it’s the best dairy-free cheese out there by far! Recently I bought some of the cheddar (I eat it with tacos, eggs, basically everything lol) and didn’t notice the recipe changed. The new recipe tastes sweet and is honestly awful. I couldn’t even finish the bag that I purchased. Please please please bring back the old version! I don’t want to look for a new cheese after this has been my go-to for years :(

I love this cheese, but can’t eat it anymore because they added lentil protein, and I am allergic to it. I have a lot of food allergies, including dairy, so finding cheese isn’t easy. I was so disappointed when the lentil protein was added. Please take it out and go back to the old recipe so I can eat this cheese!!!
New Recipe is a Fail

I purchased multiple bags of the shredded cheddar cheese each week as I was a loyal customer. I told others about the products then that all changed with this "new and improved" recipe. My son used to love just eating it plain and now he said it was disgusting. I did not even know it changed until I poured it out and it looked like there was something wrong with it. It turned out it was supposed to be like that apparently. I find it hard to believe that any thought was put into this change or that there was even a taste test completed. If all your loyal customers are saying the same thing that is a problem. The new recipe tastes horrible, smells, and melts like an oil slick. Please go back to the original recipe.
Another vote for bringing back the old recipe

The new recipe is horrible. Absolutely loved this product before and super disappointed that it's changed. The taste is way off and after melting just a quarter cup while cooking, my husband commented that the house smelled funny. Please change it back.

We used to LOVE this cheese. It was perfect for pizzas, mac & cheese, and so many other things. However, the new formula is terrible. Please switch back!

I found this product about 6 months ago and loved it, but just last week when I purchased it, there was a new and improved with lentils writing on it, sorry to say but it not improved. Please go back to the most recent version.

The new lentil formula is disgusting. It smells disgusting. It tastes disgusting. Stop messing with what works and bring back the previous formula. You ruined a good thing and now my family has one less indulgence to look forward to. Thanks for ruining this for us.
No More Mac & Cheese

They Changed the Recipe! Why did they ruin the best alternative cheeses on the market?? They had the best alternative cheese on the market, but not anymore this "New and improved" is the biggest downgrade. After over 10 years of not being able to have a good mac and cheese due to my extreme dietary restrictions, I was finally about to have real great tasting mac and cheese, but now with this recipe change they are using lower quality ingredients we can no longer eat but even if we could this "new and improved" smells worse looks worse and taste horrible. Another great brand for people with diet restrictions that got popular and instantly lowered their quality, turning their backs on the people who supported them to become bigger. Lost a customer
Please change the recipe back

This was our favorite .. until the recipe change. Yikes. Doesn't taste remotely like real cheese anymore, it's weirdly sweet, and has a strange aftertaste. I didn't even know they changed the recipe until I tried to make our regular mac & cheese and thought I bought a bad bag or something. Alas, that was not the case. Please change the recipe back, we loved you!
New recipe is not good.

Five year olds are picky eaters. My daughter grew up on this cheese and loved it! We went through a bag a week. Unfortunately she hates the new recipe with lentil protein added.
