Hi
Before we were vegan, Rice Slice was our absolute favourite of the alternative cheeses for sandwiches etc (still think red cheezly best for sauces). Personally I can't eat any of the soya slices, so am living in a world without cheese and pickle sandwiches which is very sad and much missed.
However, I'm really excited as I've recently found out that Galaxy Foods are making Rice Slice Vegan which is available in the US but doesn't seem to have reached the UK yet. I've asked all my local independent health food shops to request it and spoken to one of the suppliers, but they just said they would 'let the importers know'.
I was told recently in my local branch of Holland and Barrett that they don't stock Rice Slice anymore as most people looking for cheese alternatives are looking for dairy free, so I sent an email to their head office letting them know about the vegan version because I thought if they request it (being such a large chain) the importers might do something about supplying it.
The Vegan society have suggested I do what I'm doing now, which is to tell all of you and ask you to start requesting it from all your local retailers and also Holland and Barratt as well. Having a cheese alterative that is dairy-free and not soya based has got to be popular. (I surely can't be the only person who doesn't like the taste or smell of the others??)
Demand is what eventually effects supply, so thanks to everyone who will ask for it.
