If Babybel cheese in red color suitable for 1yo baby?

Hi yes I have friends who give babybel cheese to their babies. But one baby has allergy to it. Soft cheese are not suitable. I think mild flavored cheese like cottage cheese, mild cheddar or Colby cheese are fine. I personally bought this brand called Organic Valley mild cheddar cheese from Fairprice. At least I know the cow is grass fed.
