Ingredients with an unresolved source

unspecified oil

The oil source is not identified as plant-derived.

gomme dexanthane

We could not identify this ingredient reliably. Check the label spelling; this is a recognition gap, not evidence of animal origin.

végétalien

We could not identify this ingredient reliably. Check the label spelling; this is a recognition gap, not evidence of animal origin.

apple extract

The source or production method of apple extract can vary, so it is not always vegan.

Colour

This ingredient name is in the source dictionary, but it is not yet covered by a verified assessment. This is not evidence of animal origin.

enzymes

Food enzymes can be microbial, plant-derived, or animal-derived unless their source is stated.

Nutrition + processing

Nutri-Score is the grade reported in the source, not a score calculated or certified by us. NOVA describes processing. The Veganory indicator is a separate estimate; it does not determine whether a product is vegan.

Source values per 100 g or 100 ml, as supplied by the record. Confirm the basis on the package; these are not per-serving values.

How our indicator is calculated

When available, Nutri-Score A–E maps to 92, 74, 55, 34 or 16 points. With NOVA present, we combine 80% of those points with 20% of the processing indicator (100, 82, 52 or 16 for groups 1–4). Without NOVA we use the nutrition points alone. Without a usable Nutri-Score, we do not rate the product. This is a simplified comparison aid, not a validated health assessment.

Questions about this product

Is this answer valid for every Daiya product?

No. This page covers Daiya Dairy-Free Cheddar Slices, barcode 0871459000329. Other flavours, package versions or recipes sold in different countries may differ. Match the barcode and ingredient list on your package.

What still needs to be confirmed?

The source of unspecified oil, gomme dexanthane, végétalien, apple extract, Colour, enzymes needs clarification. Check the current package for a vegan certification or ask the manufacturer about these exact ingredients. A confidence label is not a certification.

Is the nutrition rating the same as the vegan result?

No. Vegan status concerns ingredient origin. Nutri-Score describes a nutrition profile, NOVA describes processing, and the Veganory score is our own combination of available indicators. A vegan result does not mean a food is nutritionally balanced.
