Weird eh? We bought these "Veggie-shreds", which are a soy-based cheese alternative for my daughter. Only thing is, we find out after the fact they have casein and whey in them. :|

Anyone have a good inside line on something cheese-like without any sort of milk/milk-byproduct in it?

If you're gonna offer a retarded response, at least spell it right.

OP, I have no options for you. How can it be "cheese" with no dairy products in it?

Have you tried cheese from "alternative sources" like goat cheese?

Many people who can't tolerate dairy do fine with goat products.

From Wikipedia:

Cheese is a food consisting of proteins and fat from milk, usually the milk of cows, buffalo, goats, or sheep. It is produced by coagulation of the milk protein casein. Typically, the milk is acidified and addition of the rennet causes coagulation. The solids are then separated and pressed into final form.[1] Some cheeses also contain molds, either on the outer rind or throughout.

Doesn't look there is milk-free cheese? I thought this was common sense.

That's like asking for milk-free butter. Unfortunatly, she will have to make do without cheese.

OP is looking for a cheese alternative for his daughter, who can't eat actual cheeses, which are derived from milk.
IF you don't understand that, and have no actual, positive contribution to this thread, don't post.
No, your retarded jokes don't count.

Sunny, that sux. Gotta be difficult since so many products contain milk products in one way or another.

There are now "schools of thought" that claim that constant, repetitive exposure to the allergin can actually reduce or eliminate the allergy. Have you talked to the doctors about that? As always, YMMV.

A simple "wrong forum" would suffice.

Milk-free cheese doesn't really exist though. You will end up with tofu in cheese shaped slices, but it's really not an alternative. Below is an example though if a cheese substitute is absolutely needed though.

http://www.triano.f2s.com/tr/chilled-csl-01.php

Ingredients:
Water, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, tofu, soy protein, stabiliser (carrageenan), maltodextrin, vinegar, corn starch, emulsifying salt (calcium phosphate, potassium phosphate), potato flakes, salt adipic acid, soy lecithin, natural flavours, natural colours, preservative (potassium sorbate).
