Is Arla Gouda Halal?
MUSHBOOH
This Gouda lists ystenzym, meaning cheese enzyme or rennet, but the label does not say microbial, vegetarian, or non-animal. Traditional rennet can come from a calf stomach, so the source needs checking. A halal mark or a clear microbial or vegetarian rennet statement would remove the doubt.
