Violife is expanding its dairy-free range with 15 products certified low FODMAP, a diet approach that limits certain carbohydrates tied to irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS, discomfort. The move gives people managing IBS a readier way to keep cheesy and creamy comfort foods in regular meals without so much ingredient decoding.
The certified set runs from cream cheese to whipping cream, covering both sandwich staples and cooking uses. It has national grocery distribution with shelf space at Whole Foods and Target, and every item remains dairy-free for simpler repeat buying.
Whole Foods and Target placement turns low FODMAP plant-based dairy into a routine supermarket purchase instead of a specialty hunt. With 15 certified items under one label, Violife moves digestive-friendly products from supplements into everyday refrigerated foods, widening what shoppers can expect from alt-dairy brands.
