What it is

Salt is a mineral composed primarily of sodium chloride. Non-animal rennet, also called microbial rennet, is an enzyme mixture produced by fermenting specific molds, yeasts, or bacteria. These enzymes help coagulate milk proteins, a process essential for cheesemaking.

Why it's used

Salt is used to enhance flavor, preserve food, and control microbial growth. Non-animal rennet is used in cheesemaking as a substitute for animal-derived rennet, allowing for the production of vegetarian-friendly cheeses.

Health notes

Salt intake is a public health concern, with major health organizations recommending moderation due to links with high blood pressure. The FDA regulates salt (sodium chloride) as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for its intended use. Non-animal rennet is also considered safe for use in food. JECFA has evaluated salt and established an Acceptable Daily Intake. EFSA has also evaluated rennet enzymes. Evidence regarding sodium intake and health outcomes is extensive and generally supports reduced consumption.

Allergen info

Salt is not a major allergen. Non-animal rennet is produced through fermentation and is not derived from major allergens. Gluten is not present.
