“Our plant-based cheeses are almost identical to the real thing,” says David Israel, CEO of Good Planet Foods and longtime food industry pioneer. “The new Cream Cheese spreads wonderfully on your favorite bagel and is great in countless recipes, like cheesecake, where a person wants the traditional cream cheese flavor and texture but without the dairy. We’re proud of our products and our mission to help reduce food’s environmental impact while respecting animal rights.”

Good Planet Foods also offers shredded and sliced cheeses. The shreds come in Mozzarella, Cheddar, Parmesan and Smoked Mozzarella flavors, and are perfect to use on pizza, salad, nachos and any other recipe that calls for shredded cheese. The slices are available in American, Cheddar, Smoked Provolone, Garlic & Herb, and Hot Pepper; and are great for stacking and melting. Each seven-ounce, re-sealable package contains seven servings of shreds or ten individual slices. The MSRP is $4.99.
