Ah, soy cheese - sorry to say, but that stuff is about as unPaleo
as can be. This has probably been dealt with earlier, but:

As far as I can tell from the ingredients, it's basically tofu
mixed with Coffee Mate: soya derivatives plus milk-derived
caseinates. This from the label of Soya-Kaas brand "soy cheese".
Kinda the worst of agricultural and high-tech combined.

Caseinates are the acetate-curdled insoluble proteins from
surplus (or expired) milk. The lactose, whey, fat and other
milk fractions are separated, processed and sold off as
profitable food additives. You can buy the stuff wholesale
from dairy processors in 100-lb drums. Ain't nuttin natural
about casein or how it's made.

And don't you wonder how whey, lactose, casein, milkfat and
milk powder has crept into just about everything these days?
Casein in Bumble Bee brand canned tuna? Gimme a break! Milk
fat and lactose in Hershey's "Extra Creamy" dark chocolate?
The dairy lobby and their marketers must be working overtime.
It gets harder every day to stay Paleo.

Coffee Mate claims it's "dairy free" but that's either a lie
or a damned strange definition of "dairy". The same goes for
so-called soy cheeses. All the manufacturer did was mix up
caseinate powder with some soy milk or soy curd and enough
other stuff to make it moldable, sliceable, and storable in
the grocer's "natural" foods case.
