With its distinctive red wax packaging, Babybel — which first launched in its mini form in 1977 — conjures up fond memories of opening up tiny cheese presents for a quick childhood snack. But though nostalgia may draw adults to the brand, Babybel is hoping a modern twist will inspire a new generation of fans: Babybel Plant-Based.
Launched in the United Kingdom in January, a plant-based version of the classic Babybel cheese snack is slated to arrive on this side of the pond next month, according to Bel Brands USA. The company, which owns other recognizable names like Laughing Cow, said the new dairy-free cheese will join its existing plant-based products Boursin Dairy-Free and its entire Nurishh product line.
Babybel says that its plant-based variety "mimics the same great taste" of its traditional cheese "now in a certified plant-based, non-GMO project verified, and certified vegan snack." The results are said to offer "a soft, smooth, and creamy texture, developed to taste like Mozzarella" — oh, and it's now in a green wax coating instead of a red one.
"At Bel Brands USA, we believe we can set the tone for the future of the cheese industry through a consumer- and customer-centric approach to innovation that focuses on products that meet evolving demands, even as those demands continue to shift," Shannon Maher, the company's chief marketing officer, stated.

What is exactly “Plant-Based”?
> What is exactly “Plant-Based”?
A Cheese like substance. Like smegma.
I don’t wanna know......................
ooooh sh1t...
“But, will it still clog my arteries?”
If not, I ain’t havin’ it!
I hearby revoke all prior statements to the effect of “if it’s cheese, I will like it.” I doubt it on this.
why do they always try to imitate real food with their weeds?
if that crap is sooo good for you, why don’t they come up with some NEW FOOD TYPE to showcase their crap??
oh, right it all tastes like sh1t unless you make it taste like SOMETHING ELSE!
If it doesn’t come from a cow, goat, moose or any other female mammal, how can they call it ‘cheese’?...............
LOLOL...
If it doesn’t mean feeding plants to animals that then produce milk, I’m not interested
LOL!.....................
"Say it ain't so, Joe."
It’s a “processed cheez product made from hydrogenated vegetable oil”
But it’s NON-GMO and VEGAN so it’s HeAlThY fOr YoU.
BS - this is the margarine craze all over again.
This plant based nonsense is the harbinger of the food shortages that are coming.
"Get Crazy With The Cheez Whiz!"
Have you retired the alien?
I guess not. I always have Babybel in the refrigerator. Why is everything absurd? Hubby and I love meat and cheese, we are 68 and not fat. I’m getting very lean as I have severe osteoporosis
