Is Sargento Cheddar Cheese Halal?

MUSHBOOH

It contains enzymes in cheddar cheese, and the label does not confirm whether the rennet is halal or microbial; a microbial or vegetable-rennet declaration would settle it.

Hanafi — their opinion: rennet remains permitted even when the animal’s death was not confirmed Islamic, so it is allowed.

Shafi, Maliki, Jafari, Hanbali — their opinion: rennet should come from a halal-slaughtered animal or a microbial source, so it should be avoided here.
