Are Tofutti products egg free or not?

Question

Another poster had this as an answer and it needed further discussion:

"Tofutti makes a lot of non-dairy products.....sour cream, cream cheese, sliced cheese, chip dip, mayonnaise. I assumed everything they made was vegan, but apparently they make an egg "replacer" that is made with eggs. I don't get that at all, but all their other products are completely vegan."

Can somebody shed some light on this contradiction?

If you have a fact to present, please include a reliable link. Thanks.

Thanks, Miss Allie :-)

Ok so Tofutti products are non-dairy but not necessarily vegan friendly because some contain egg whites.

Answer 1

Dear Mr. Wolf,
Not all of their products are vegan.
I had no idea that tofutti made egg replacer, but that's probably because the only product of their I would be able to find right now (in my supermarket) is "better than cream cheese."

Answer 2

From Toffuti's website:

9. Are all Tofutti products vegan?
No, not all of our products are totally vegan. Although all of our frozen dessert and cheese (except smoked salmon Better Than Cream Cheese) products are completely vegan, all of our frozen food entrees (except our Pizza Pizzaz) and all four of our cookies do contain egg whites. Of course, every product that uses egg whites will have it clearly listed in the ingredients. We never use whole eggs, as we are always cholesterol free.

Answer 3

Tofutti is geared toward the lactose intolerant, not vegans. However, many of their products just happen to be vegan, which I appreciate.
