Babybel Expands US Dairy-Free Portfolio with Plant-Based White Cheddar

Following the huge success of Babybel’s first non-dairy cheese, Babybel Plant-Based, in 2022, the company announces it is expanding its dairy-free portfolio with Babybel Plant-Based White Cheddar. Set to launch in US retailers in May, the new variety is based on one of Babybel’s most popular dairy cheeses, Mini Babybel White Cheddar.
