Jenelopy Nov 2022 1:37am, 22 Nov 2022 760 posts	0 Jenelopy I generally prefer alternatives to cheese rather than fake cheese, for example: - peanut butter - marmite - whole grain mustard - nutritional yeast Also, watch out for dairy-free marg containing palm oil (which can be listed as "vegetable oil"). That may just be a NZ thing, but we only found one brand here that was dairy and palm oil free. nuttelex.com hopefully you have more options.
