Canadian Vegan Cheese Expansions

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Weins Foods Has Brought Its 'Plant Ahead Vegan Cheez' to America

— February 4, 2022 — Business
'Weins Foods,' the Quebec-based food manufacturer and distributor, has announced that its vegan cheese alternative, 'Plant Ahead Vegan Cheez,' will now be available in certain United States markets. Weins Foods was founded in 2008 and began as a province-wide distributor. Since then, Weins Foods has expanded its market availability throughout Canada, and most recently, to the United States.

The first product line in the United States will be the brand's vegan cheese alternatives. These are coconut oil-based dairy-free products that allow the cheeses to be easily sold country-wide. The first markets the brand has entered are New York City and California, though Weins Foods has noted its intent to further expand across the country.

Some of the 'Cheez' products the brand sells are feta, gouda, cream cheese, parmesan, and white cheddar alternatives, though many of these cheeses come in different forms and flavors.
