Email from Kraft Cheese which proves Cheese is not Vegeterian

[Yash Doshi]

Dear Members,

First read how cheese is made so you can relate Kraft company's reply: 

Cheese is often made with rennet or rennin, which is used to coagulate the dairy product. According to the McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology, rennin, which is an enzyme used in coagulating cheese, is obtained from milk-fed calves. "After butchering, the fourth stomach...is removed and freed of its food content." After this the stomach goes through several steps including being dry-salted, washed, scraped to remove surface fat, stretched onto racks where moisture is removed, then finally ground and mixed with a salt solution until the rennin is extracted.

Reply from Kraft Cheese company: See the text below in bottom which was the question I had sent them. 

This is true for all the companies except the names of Cheese I have given in another post of Cheese. Below is the link to that post
