A Closer Look at the Ingredients
Small swaps make a big difference. Here’s what to look for when you shop.
Feta cheese rennet
What to watch for: Traditional feta may contain animal-derived rennet that isn’t halal-certified.
The halal solution: Use feta cheese labeled ‘microbial rennet’ or ‘vegetable rennet’.
