Violife Vegan Cheese — ENGINEERED

Munch or Dump rates Violife Vegan Cheese by Violife Vegan ENGINEERED — score 30/90.

This isn't cheese, it's coconut oil held together with a stack of starches. A lab-built dairy mimic, not real food.

Why this verdict

• Refined coconut oil (23%) is almost pure saturated fat
• Two refined starches (modified + native) are nutrition-free fillers
• Modified starch is an industrial additive, a NOVA-4 marker
• Built to mimic cheese in a factory, not grown or made from whole foods
• Essentially fat + starch + salt + flavoring with a vitamin sprinkled in

Ingredients (9)

• Water (safe) — First ingredient by weight; this pudding is mostly water, not milk.
• Coconut oil (23%) (moderate) — Nearly pure saturated fat; refined and calorie-dense with little nutritional upside.
• modified starch (moderate) — Industrial thickener that signals a processed, NOVA-4 formulation.
• Starch (moderate) — Refined starch used as a cheap textural filler.
• Sea Salt (moderate) — Adds sodium to the canning brine; modest amount but worth rinsing to reduce.
• Vegan flavours (moderate) — Undisclosed flavoring blend doing the heavy lifting to mimic cheese taste.
• Olive extract (safe) — Plant extract used as a natural antioxidant/preservative; benign.
• vitamin B12 (safe) — Added micronutrient relevant for a vegan product.
• Colour (beta carotene) (safe) — Natural orange pigment used only to make it look like cheddar.
