Some soy (US spelling)/soya (British spelling) hard cheeses contain casein which is a milk-product. Just because something is "lactose free" doesn't mean it's dairy free. The only true VEGAN hard cheeses in the U.S. are SOYMAGE and VEGAN RELLA. In the U.K. there are vegan hard cheeses called SCHEESE and TOFUCHEESE. There is also a vegan pre-grated parmesan style cheese called PARMAZANO in the U.K.

As Shiva stated, don't trust "dairy free." If an item is marked Vegan, then you can trust it is. I made the mistake of grabbing a rice cheese the other day and only noticed it contains milk protein AFTER I got home.
If it isn't marked VEGAN don't trust it.

Maybe.
Depends on the brand. Many try to be vegan, but not all do.
Read the label.
