What is the ruling on eating Kiri and Kraft cheese that has "microbial rennet cheese" written on its packaging?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The ruling concerning manufactured materials depends on their origin. If they are from an animal that is permissible and lawfully slaughtered (dhakāh), then they are permissible. If they are from a pig or an animal that was not lawfully slaughtered, then they are forbidden according to the majority of scholars. However, if they are plant-based, the original ruling is permissibility unless they are intoxicating or harmful.
