A Closer Look at the Ingredients
Small swaps make a big difference. Here’s what to look for when you shop.
Cheese rennet
What to watch for: Velveeta may contain animal-derived rennet which could be non-halal.
The halal solution: Look for halal-certified processed cheese or those labeled with microbial/vegetable rennet.
