Jay&Joy is the first purely vegan cheese producer of France.[3][1] Most of the company's products contain Spanish almonds,[4] while others use cashew nuts or sunflower seeds, as well as spices.[3] Its most successful product is a camembert-like almond and cashew cheese called Joséphine.[4][5]
The company makes its products in La Croix-Saint-Ouen north of Paris and sells them retail and online in several European countries.[6] Jay and Joy also operates a cheese shop in the 11th arrondissement of Paris, called La crèmerie végétale ("The plant-based creamery"). As of 2020, more of its customers are lactose intolerant than vegan.[1]
In 2023, all of their products were recalled after several listeriosis cases were linked to the consumption of Jay and Joy merchandise. They mostly happened among pregnant women and were suspected of having induced preterm births.[7]
