Non-dairy Alternative

For those who can’t digest, or choose not to eat, cheese, there’s a brand-new option: Galaxy Nutritional Foods’ non-dairy vegan cream cheeses. Available in Classic Plain and Chive and Garlic varieties under Galaxy’s Veggie and Vegan brands, the items are also gluten-free and certified kosher. In keeping with the North Kingstown, R.I.-based company’s distribution strategy, the Vegan brand will be sold in natural food and health food stores, while the Veggie line will be carried in the produce sections of major supermarkets throughout the United States and Canada. An 8-ounce container retails for a suggested $3.99. For more information, visit www.GalaxyFoods.com.
