Is Gouda Bread Halal?

MUSHBOOH

It contains Gouda, which is normally set with rennet, but the label does not state whether the rennet is microbial or from an Islamically slaughtered animal. A microbial or vegetarian-rennet declaration would settle it.

Hanafi — their opinion: rennet is not made impure by the animal's death, so it is allowed.

Shafi, Maliki, Jafari, Zaydi, Hanbali, Ibadi — their opinion: the rennet should come from a halal source, so it should be avoided when that source is unclear.
