Daiya contains the following ingredients:

Filtered water, tapioca and /or arrowroot flours, non-GMO expeller
pressed canola and /or non-GMO expeller pressed safflower oil, coconut oil,
pea protein, salt, inactive yeast, vegan natural flavors, vegetable
glycerin, xanthan gum, citric acid (for flavor), annatto, titanium dioxide
(a naturally occurring mineral).

Yes. I know it is dairy free but not all alternative cheeses are. I find
that it is best to use the Daiya sparingly. It is good on pizza or in mac
and cheese.
