Recipe change ruined this product
These used to be AMAZING. Literally just like cheddar. I could eat them out the bag, or generally enjoy them cold. But now they're more like the daiya brand cheese. The texture is rubbery and it absolutely needs to be heated up to taste good. I'm really disappointed and will be avoiding the brand from now on.

Lentil Reaction.
I also had been buying this for a while- they barely change the packaging and add lentil protein. Needless to say it ruined my meal by giving me an allergic reaction. Add something that is not in the same family as soy.

New and Disgraceful
I bought multiple bags of this product weekly for years for my child with multiple food allergies as a cheese alternative. It was perfect. Then the formula changed and includes lentils- one of his allergens. The product now also looks and tastes awful. Violife- listen to all the negative customer feedback you’ve received since changing the recipe and please bring back the old formula.

It is the antithesis of what it used to be!
The new recipe is TERRIBLE. I am very disappointed with the new formulation and will no longer spend money on this product. Unfortunately, I will have to rework a recipe with another brand for my bakery.

From great to bad
I used to buy 3 bags of this per week. Ever since the ingredient change I no longer can enjoy this product. The taste is so off. Why change something that was so great? I won't buy again unless something changes.

Inedible Recipe Change
I do not understand why Violife decided to change the cheddar shreds recipe in such a major way. This change of the recipe made the product completely inedible. Those of us with children who can only eat dairy free have no options now for a great tasting cheese. It is a huge adjustment for my family and has been very difficult as I would buy so much of this cheese to give my child options. Customers are saying the same thing with this pattern of negative reviews. I have been a loyal customer spending a lot of money on this cheese over the years and I am sad that it is now over. Please change the recipe back to the original.

Not just like cheddar anymore, sadly.
Used Daiya until they changed their formula a few years ago and it no longer melted. Was absolutely delighted to find Violife!! Melted wonderfully, added a creamy-cheesy goodness to my dishes. With the change to add the lentil protein, no longer melts. Can't even tell I have cheese in my dish, just orange lumps of tasteless things in my food. I am so disappointed. I don't know what brand I'm going to try to go to next. But this no longer works and there is no point in buying any more as a dairy-free cheese item.

Shouldn’t have changed it
I’ve been buying Violife shredded cheeses and sliced cheese for a couple of years now and really liked it. But you went and messed with it and it is not good. The taste, smell and texture is definitely not an improvement. The smell alone makes it hard to eat but then the taste isn’t much better. Please go back to how it was. But please don’t add oats as I’m allergic and wo t be able to eat.

Get rid of the lentils!
I previously loved this vegan cheese, but the new formulation with lentils is gross. It has the same stuff, greasy texture as the Daiya brand. I will not be buying this anymore.

A new ingredient
This used to be the very best cheese for me until they added lentil protein to the recipe. It tastes great, melts nice, and everything I switched to Follow your heart which has no lentil protein.

You broke what used to be the best DF cheese :-(
With your 2025 recipe change, you have completely broken the best dairy free cheddar shreds to ever exist. We've been eating Violife for many years and now no one at our house likes it since you changed the recipe. It was perfect before. Are you noticing that all your 4 and 5 star reviews are from prior to 2025 and since then everyone is giving you terrible reviews? Please just put it back!!!

Why did you have to change ingredients?
Every time I see new and improved on a package I cringe. Why not leave well enough alone? We have been using this product for many years for my multiple food allergy child. The product was great. It melted just like cheese taste just like cheese. My child never knew the difference. Now we can no longer use your product and have to find a replacement. Thanks for that!

Change it back
These used to be so good. The only vegan shreds that tasted good right out of the bag. Since they changed the recipe, it’s flavorless and no longer melts at all. It’s a complete waste of money now. Like everything else these days this company started making a worse product to squeeze out more profit and we pay the same or more for terrible food.

Lentils don’t improve this product
So disappointed. The change in formula label is sooo small. I’m allergic to lentils and had a serious reaction. If you add an allergen to a food enjoyed by people with allergens the label should be much larger. Really has impacted my trust in violife. Why mess with a great and tasty product?

Used to be great. Now it literally tastes rotten.
I threw away four new bags of cheddar shreds because I thought they had gone bad. Turns out, this is the new and improved version. It tastes spoiled and sour. Like sour milk.

WHY DID YOU CHANGE THIS CHEESE? This was my favorite cheese in the world and you ruined it. The flavor is different and the texture is horrible! Never buying this again

Our favorite plant based cheese
For context, I’ve been vegan a long time, and I honestly don’t like this taste of animal cheese anymore. This cheese is great. It melts well and leaves no weird aftertaste like some of them. My girlfriend still eats dairy on occasion and is a stickler for cheese alternatives, and this is her favorite one for the same reasons. Highly recommend!
