Yes. It's basically a press release about the different products. No criticism, no discussion of flavor (I expect real cheese has to include mold for the sharp flavor), no note of use of titanium dioxide (basically paint/sunblock/toothpaste grit.)

Might be worth mentioning that its 2017 acquisition by Otsuka Pharmaceutical led to a boycott by some, due to Otsuka Pharmaceutical's use of animal testing (like all pharmaceutical companies). Whether or not that boycott is justified, it apparently is still in effect at some retailers (Food Fight in Portland, OR is one). Here are some sources to start from if anyone wants to add these details: https://theoutline.com/post/2145/daiya-otsuka-vegan-cheese-controversy?zd=1&zi=tytlrpon https://www.instagram.com/p/BXGTAoJFKXX/ https://www.otsuka.com/en/rd/compliance/ -kotra (talk) 06:01, 13 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
