Uncertainty in ingredients can be relived by contacting the company in questions. One can email, write, or call the cheese processing plant or the bread company and ask them for the source of their ingredients. Most companies are happy to oblige.
One should abstain from foods that have a possibility of being haram, until this uncertainty can be lifted in some way.
Since ingredients are changing everyday, it is very difficult to provide any absolute answer in terms of which breads or cheeses, etc., are halal at any given time. Muslims are need of organizations that can provide this research on a permanent and regular basis. You can visit:
