Is feta dairy free? - Mouths of Mums

Hello!

Hi Mums, I am very confused as to whether feta is considered dairy free. I know it’s usually goats milk but am unsure whether I have to give up everything as I love to go dairy free? Help! Thanks

No, but there is a vegan version on the market, same for haloumi. I’ve seen it in Coles and Woolies

It’s definitely dairy. Sorry about that you seemed hopeful that you could still eat it

No, all cheeses contain diary, except for vegan cheeses (what is actually not a real cheese).
