Is Maasdam Cheese Halal?
HALAL
This Maasdam cheese uses non-animal rennet, so the cheese-setting enzyme is not from an animal source. The label also identifies pasteurised cow’s milk and a suitable-for-vegetarians claim, while natamycin is limited to the plastic coating, which is not for consumption.
