Is Cheddar Cheese Halal?
HALAL
 **Microbial enzyme** — HALAL

The key point is that it uses microbial enzyme rather than animal rennet, which removes the usual cheese concern. Calcium chloride is just a mineral firming salt, and nothing on the label points to pork, alcohol, or other forbidden ingredients.
