Dairy-Free Brand Swees Launches ‘World-First’ Vegan Cheese Sticks

Swees, a dairy-free cheese company, has launched what it claims to be the world's first vegan cheese sticks called "Cheddar Plant-Based Cheese Sticks." The main ingredients in Swees cheeses are nutritional yeast and soy protein isolate, with the addition of rice protein in the new cheese sticks to add nutritional value and make the product eligible for a government grant supporting national innovation. This move not only benefits the vegan cheese market but also helps to promote rice as a significant ingredient in Thailand, a major rice-producing country.

The global vegan cheese market is growing rapidly, with major brands like Swees launching plant-based cheese products to cater to the increasing demand. While Swees is targeting supermarkets and convenience stores in Thailand with its vegan cheese sticks, the brand also exports to other countries like Vietnam, Hong Kong, and Singapore. Each box of Swees Cheddar Plant-Base Cheese Sticks contains 10 individual sticks high in B vitamins like B12, making them a convenient and nutritious snack option for consumers looking for dairy-free alternatives.
