Best Fit Guide

Which product is right for you?

Two great options. Here’s how to decide.


Is Credo Cheese Sauce really top 9 allergen free?

Yes — completely. No milk, no eggs, no wheat, no peanuts, no tree nuts, no soy, no fish, no shellfish, no sesame. Every batch is produced allergen-free and labeled accordingly.

Can I use it in a steam well without it breaking?

Absolutely. Credo Cheese Sauce is specifically formulated for heat-and-hold applications. It holds texture and consistency for extended service periods without separating or drying out.

How does Credo fit GLP-1 / metabolic health menu needs?

Credo Cheese Sauce is 50 calories per 2 Tbsp serving — significantly lower than traditional cheese sauces. It’s free from ultra-processed ingredients, making it a natural fit for guests tracking macros or following GLP-1 medication protocols.

What is the minimum order for foodservice?

Cheese Sauce ships in 4-unit cases (4 × 1 gallon). We work with distributors across the US — our team will connect you with the right distribution partner for your region.

Does it taste like real cheese sauce?

That’s the whole point. Credo is built to deliver the flavor and texture guests expect from a great cheese sauce — rich, savory, and craveable — without anyone knowing it’s dairy free unless you tell them.

What’s the difference between Cheese Sauce and Cashew Queso?

Both are 100% plant-based and allergen-friendly, but built for different operations. Cheese Sauce is the high-volume workhorse — heat it in a steam well and serve at scale, consistently. Cashew Queso is oil-free, richer in body, and ready to serve straight from the container with no heating required. Choose Cheese Sauce for cafeterias, stadiums, and speed-of-service environments. Choose Cashew Queso for Tex-Mex concepts and culinary-forward menus where a premium, chef-driven sauce sets you apart.

Is Cashew Queso suitable for vegan and allergen-conscious menus?

Yes. Cashew Queso is 100% plant-based and free from dairy, gluten, soy, and eggs. Note that cashews are a tree nut, so it is not appropriate for guests with tree nut allergies. Always verify allergen requirements for your specific operation and communicate clearly to guests.

What are some creative ways to use Cashew Queso on my menu?

Cashew Queso is ready to serve straight from the container — but our foodservice customers get creative with it every day. Add chorizo or your favorite protein, fold in fresh salsa, pile on pickled jalapeños, or layer it into a loaded fry build. The possibilities are wide open. Got something out of the box in mind? Submit the form below and let’s talk.

Does Credo offer custom or private-label dairy-free sauce solutions?

Yes — we work with foodservice operators to develop custom plant-based sauce solutions tailored to your menu, volume, and flavor vision. Whether you’re looking for a proprietary blend, private-label option, or just want to explore what’s possible, we’re happy to have the conversation. Fill out the form below to get started.
