Is imitation cheese vegan?

Most imitation cheeses are not vegan because they contain casein, which is derived from milk. “VeganRella” and “Soymage” are both vegan. When a product label states that a food product is “lactose free,” it does not necessarily mean that it is free of dairy by-products. Similarly, if a label says “non-dairy,” the food may still contain dairy by-products. Some coffee creamers and whipped toppings, for example, are marked “non-dairy” but contain casein.
