I am allergic to MSG, and it seems to be hidden in print on labels.

Most of the packaged food has ingredients that can come from animal, plant, or microbial origin, and unless we call the company to find out, there is usually no way to preclude the use of ingredients obtained from animals.faisalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377480912794900067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432694197594196581.post-91341523214693302862012-01-11T16:03:20.588-05:002012-01-11T16:03:20.588-05:00The writer is not incorrect.

Kraft said rennet is mixed with pepsin - two totally different questions. Yes, pepsin is from swine, but rennet is not. We should read carefully before jumping to conclusions about people being right or wrong. However, it is good to know that Kraft and many other manufacturers are mixing the two. I just hope they are labelling the products for the consumers to see.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432694197594196581.post-15605291420407573072011-12-20T16:59:49.174-05:002011-12-20T16:59:49.174-05:00Wow, I appreciate the previous message about KRAFT...Wow, I appreciate the previous message about KRAFT. Without reading this a reader may be off on his marry way taking it as a fact that cheese could only be coagulated with the enzymes of the same animal who is producing the milk. Go figure. If there is a cheaper way to do things they will do it.

Following is an excerpt from a letter from KRAFT food. <br /><br />"Thank you very much for asking if Kraft cheese products contain any animal derivatives. Our comments here apply only to products produced in the United States. Many cheese products produced in the United States do contain a coagulating enzyme derived from either beef or swine. The process of changing fluid milk into cheese consists of coagulating the milk by one of two commonly used methods, each resulting in cheese having distinct characteristics.<br /><br />The most common method of coagulating milk is by the use of an enzyme preparation, rennet, which traditionally was made from the stomachs of veal calves. Since the consumption of calves for veal has not kept pace with the demand for rennet in the preparation of cheese, a distinct shortage of this enzyme has developed. Consequently, a few years ago it became a common practice to mix the rennet extract from calves' stomachs with a pepsin enzyme derived primarily from the stomachs of swine. These enzymes convert the fluid milk into a semi-solid mass as one of the steps in the manufacture of cheese. This mixture of calf rennet and pepsin extract is quite commonly and widely used within the United States."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432694197594196581.post-56706279294467864542010-02-28T10:24:34.232-05:002010-02-28T10:24:34.232-05:00Salam...can I ask how did u come about knowing thi...Salam...can I ask how did u come about knowing this information?-Rennet has to be derived from the same animal from which cheese is derived from.
