Is it permissible to eat European cheese products that are not certified as halal, even though their listed ingredients do not show anything forbidden, and the rennet used is microbial rennet, while some believe that the manufacturing processes and methods might include what is not halal, such as the use of alcohol?
There is no objection to consuming such products, unless it is definitively proven that they have been mixed with something that renders them unlawful. If it is proven that a specific type of cheese has had something forbidden enter into its manufacturing process, then the ruling changes.
