It was disqualified for having an ingredient that was not GRAS(generally regarded as safe). Even GRAS is a pretty low bar for food safety.

They're going to get hit with the Streisand effect.
I'm surprised, I've had all sorts of vegan cheeses and they all taste like murder
I've had a few good vegan cheeses. Not all of it is 1 to 1 with the real deal, but a lot ends up being good in its own way. Just wish it wasn't so damn expensive. Hopefully that changes over time. Lactose doesn't agree with me so the more (affordable) non-dairy options there are, the happier I am.
The point of vegan cheese is that they most certainly do not taste like murder. 😁
Genuine question: how would cheese be considered "murder" in this sense (unless you're just going along with the original comment), I guess another way to weird it would be how is cheese bad, according to veganism and vegetarianism?
As far as the murder part goes, dairy cows are mostly all killed very quickly after they stop producing milk. They are almost never allowed to live out their full lives. Especially, none of the cows in the larger dairy industry. The calves produced in the process are also just raised to be slaughtered. Besides the murder, The act of farming dairy products is also just cruel and inhumane in practice.
To produce milk, cows have to be kept in a pretty much constant state of pregnancy. Once the calves are born, they are immediately taken from the mother, and it is known that cows have maternal instincts that makes this painful for them. They have to be taken away, because otherwise they will drink the milk we are trying to steal from the process. Then the calf's are raised in isolation for the first few months of their life on a milk substitute.
That is the bare minimum amount of cruelty needed to produce milk. Obviously, our modern capitalist driven dairy industry ramps up the cruelty in many other ways to increase productivity and efficiency.
Add to the fact that the dairy industry feeds into the veal industry.

Because you can't get consent from the animal you're milking.
Cheese isn't bad in vegetarianism only veganism. One says "I won't eat animals" the other is "I won't eat anything made by animals or the animals themelves."
