I'd be very suspicious of anything labelled starter culture. These are
typically lactic acid bacteria grown in a milk powder slurry. Its the
cheapest easiest way to culture these bugs and then the whole mixture is
added to sausages, cheese, buttermilk whatever...
It is possible to get cultures produced in soy but its generally more
difficult and more expensive.
