At the beginning of January 2018, Domino’s in Australia added vegan cheese to its menus for a trial period. Just a few weeks later, Domino’s announced via a Facebook video that the Follow Your Heart cheese is a permanent fixture on menus at more than 600 locations. The announcement came shortly after many Domino’s across Australia ran low on the plant-based cheese product after only a week of serving it.

CEO of Domino’s Australia and New Zealand, Nick Knight, said “We are doing everything we can to get [the plant-based cheese] back in stores and we want to thank you guys for your Support. We knew this would be big, but it’s been huge.”
After so much success in Australia, maybe Domino’s will consider expanding this new menu item to all locations globally!

TO ALL VEGANS OUT THERE: Please, don\’t be fooled. This whole "vegan range" is just a marketing trick. The cheese may indeed be vegan, however they use the same crust as they would use on regular pizzas, which contains animal-derived conditioners and preservatives (L-Cysteine, for example). – Look up the ingredients. If you are a true vegan – don\’t buy it!
