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”?
Invented by your friendly Global Warming Nuts
We are in the era of fake. Fake meat, fake cheese, fake news, fake vaxxine, fake genders, fake president, fake .........
Even processed cheese is still mixed milk and cheese
Lexicographic brilliance noted.
i personally would eat weedburgers if...
it really tasted good, not necessarily like meat but good, AND it’s not more expensive
That was the thing about it - it was reminiscent of a real burger, but very different, and very good.
I just worry about what goes into this stuff - haven’t there been some questions about nonfermented soy products?
don’t know... never ate it
i do know it’s bad for women’s hormones though
I’ve seen some adds for plant-based eggs as well.
No thanks.
The place I had it was in a mall eatery and called ‘Flamers’.
If it’s the same chain that’s still around, their main website doesn’t show it on the menu, but I think some locations have it.
Why are vegetables now being made to taste like Cheese? If I want to taste Cheese I will Eat CHEESE!
Please! No Gouda or Limburger!
Do the cheese makers make their product taste like vegetables? NO!
Lefties hate animal agriculture .
They will push this stuff hard and I do feel it’s a real threat to animal agriculture.
What’s wrong with Gouda?
And smoked Gouda is wonderful.
Gouda smells like my dad’s dirty,sweaty feet. Still remember the stench!
I have never noticed that at all. Have you got the right cheese?
I looked up some of the highly rated ones, and the ‘Beyond Meat Beyond Burgers’ get pretty good reviews.
Surprisingly, they have no soy protein and a lot of the other newer ones don’t either:

but it costs more than meat
I’m part of their panel. None of us want it but they’re going ahead with it anyway. Watch it not sell..
Yeah, I looked it up locally and it does appear to cost more.
But hamburger keeps going up and up.
Remember how good for you margarine was supposed to be?
And it tastes just like butter! Even better than butter! In fact I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter.
"If you think it's Butter, but it's snot....it's Chiffon!"
