While I’m quite familiar with Tofutti’s soy ice cream products and their amazing Better Than Cream Cheese line, I came across a new item (to me) in the store the other that really excited me: soft batch Tofutti non-dairy chocolate chip cookies! I grabbed a box thinking, “Excellent, soft batch vegan cookies!” And, man, do they taste good.
The problem: they have eggs in them. Huh. I thought all of Tofutti’s products were vegan, but apparently not… just dairy free. Bummer. Guess you have to read the labels even on products from companies you trust.

11|May|2006 3I have been looking for a liquid egg substitute product and though Toffuti had one. My husband is a Chef and struggles with the powder. Do any of you know if Tofutti has such a product, and if not, does one exist. Currently I am using Egg Replacer (a yellow box). Any help would be appreciated.
