  Unless, of course, we’re talking about the German Leberkäse (liver cheese), which, naturally, isn’t cheese and doesn’t contain liver.

  i think most of the industry uses synthetic remnet.

    As a person who check all cheese in the supermarket for this. The current state (EU/NL) is almost 60%, 60% of the cheese in our supermarket is without murdering baby cows. Which I up from last year, and it has been trending up for a while.

    I have no clue how other countries are doing, my guess us worse. Some france people still label ‘Fish’ as ‘Vegan’

      That number moves much closer to 0% if you start counting the baby cows killed in order to keep their mothers perpetually lactating, rather than just those whose bodies were used as a direct ingredient.

      A cow will be impregnated 6-8 times during her life on a typical dairy farm, before she is killed af half her natural lifespan to be replaced by a younger cow. One of those baby cows will be raised as that replacement cow, the rest will be killed shortly after birth since.

      Killing baby cows is an inherent part of cow-milk production.

        most dairy calves are brought to full weight before slaughter.

    That would be huge news if true but it doesn’t sound like you have a source

      I’m not bringing any moral value, just the note that synthetic remnet is cheaper then real one, another commenter said that it’s about 60%,i thought it would be much more.

    I think many French protected cheeses are not allowed to, but I’m not sure about that

  Usage of animal rennet requires disclosure on the packaging, in my country, thanks to a majority of religions being against meat and stuff.

    I would really like to be the case more often. I’m a cheese eating vegetarian and I have to look on the ingredients every time I buy cheese. Some brands will even switch from animal to microbial rennet and viceversa within the same product without warning.
