Daiya, a brand that cracked the code on dairy-free cheese, is turning up the heat with two bold, new additions to its portfolio: Chipotle Cheddar Shreds and Pepper Jack Slices. Made with Daiya’s creamy, melt-worthy Oat Cream blend, both flavors deliver the melt fans love — now with a spicy kick.
These new additions tap into growing demand for bold-flavored foods that don’t compromise on satisfaction. Whether it is younger consumers looking for excitement or flexitarians mixing things up, Daiya’s latest lineup brings crave-worthy taste and versatility to the dairy-free aisle.
Made with real chipotle peppers, the dairy-free Chipotle Cheddar Shreds combine smoky, bold heat with a sharp cheddar-style base. They are perfect for tacos, burgers and quesadillas — or snacking straight from the bag. The Chipotle Cheddar Shreds feature:

A deli staple, reimagined. Daiya’s Pepper Jack Slices serve up a creamy cheddar-style base layered with real jalapeños and red bell peppers — for just the right amount of heat. With no dairy or compromise, the slices are ready to melt into your next sandwich, burger or grilled cheese. The Pepper Jack Slices feature:
- Smooth, melty texture: Made with Daiya’s Oat Cream blend
- Just-right heat: Balanced spice that satisfies without overpowering
- Flavor that takes the lead: A standout with younger consumers craving boldness
“We’re pushing flavor and form further than ever,” said John Kelly, chief marketing officer at Daiya. “These bold, new cheeses show what dairy-free can really do — craveable heat, creamy melt and no holding back.”
Both the Chipotle Cheddar Shreds and Pepper Jack Slices are now available at retailers across North America, giving consumers bold, new ways to turn up the dairy-free heat.
