Oh no, I emailed the kraft people about this and the reply:

Thank you for contacting the Kraft Foods website with your query.

All Kraft processed cheese product (Slices, Singles, Cheddar, Cheestiks,
Cheese Wedges, Cheesy Pops & Fridge Sticks) along with our Parmesan Cheese
products contain animal rennet &/or enzymes, however, the exception is our
Philadelphia Cream Cheese products (block, tub, dips) which contain
microbial rennet (non-animal) and are suitable for vegetarians to consume.​

Maybe I can find some cheese that says vegetarian on it... imsad

sis I just went shopping and I checked the Kraft's singles. It says they ARE suitable for vegetarians. There's a great BIG green V sign on it. :confused:
 
Cheese making developed differently in different parts of the world. The European hard cheeses do not need to be made with rennet and the old methods did not use rennet. Also the old cottage cheeses and the Hard cheeses made with it did not use rennet.


Rennet came about from the mid-eastern Arabs where it was common practice to use the stomachs of goats as milk containers. Cheese was the result of storing milk.

Some other things that have been and are used to produce cheese are various bacteria. The bacteria Penecillium (from which we get penicillin) has long been used for making Blue and Swiss cheese.

Other sources of enzymes for cheese production are vinigar, Lemon juice and pepsin (from papayas)

So with cheese either get your cheese that is certified V or from a trusted halal market or as last resort make your own. It really is simple to make and does not require much equipment. It takes about a gallon of milk to make one pound of cheese. You just need a good recipe and a starting culture. The starting culture can be yougart or cottage cheese.

Here is a good link for cheese making supplies. Notice they sell vegetable rennet and cheese cultures. The Cultures are bacteria based and are non-rennet.

No way! :eek: Must be just your country then! Why is my country so behind?! :offended:

Thanks for that info Woodrow... I think I will just stick to buying cheese with a V on it though lol
 
lol I just meant that Kraft in your country makes singles for vegetarians but they dont do that where I live... so my country is behind in that respect.

I had no clue we had haram cheese? so nothing is safe these days eh?
I usually use kraft singles,i will go and read the label to see if it has the V sign on it,if it hasnt,does that mean i need to ge rid of it?

can u pliz tell us of brands u guys are familiar with which are haram to eat?
 
:sl:

^Well, dont get rid of it, but email the krafts people for your country to see if is halal or not... I have the feeling if it doesnt have the V it might not be halal but just check anyway inshaallah.:)

Man I keep forgetting to go cheese shopping!
 
salams
are those triangle cheese ok (2cm high sorta ones in aluminium sorta cover with lil sticker on top)?! i just realised i ate like 3 today at work n this thread clicked 2me just now :offended:

You have to check the ingredients... if it says enzymes/rennet then just don't eat it unless it says vegetarian because it is probably animal based...

unless it says halal on it of course....

renet is haram and stuff with them in it are also deemed as sch since they are considered impure
