這個問題一直是眾說紛紜，

根據以前在網路上查詢的結果，也是有許多不同的說法。

看到這篇討論文章我又再次寫信去美國問原廠商並上網搜尋是否有新的資訊，結果如下...

另外我在網路上搜尋到有某個網友也在最近對卡夫產品有相同問題，並發信詢問他們(http://www.planetfeedback.com/index.php?level2=blog_viewpost&topic_id=287114&reply_id=26040#anchor26040):

Enquiring Minds Want To Know About Kraft Cheese



by Tracy Z. written to Kraft Foods, Inc.

Cheese



I have a question about one of your products that I recently read about in the newsletter I get from the website http://www.vegetarian-restaurants.net/



It was about your cheese products and it stated: "When I contacted Kraft about animal rennet in their cheese, they told me that the only cheeses that do not contain animal rennet are Kraft Swiss Cheese and Philadelphia Brand Cream Cheeses."



I am a vegetarian and but not a vegan. I eat dairy products like milk and cheese because a cow does not need to die to give milk. At least that is what I thought about cheese too. Is it true that an animal dies when cheese is made? For some reason I always thought that cheese was made in a factory and not in an animal stomach.



I do hope I am right and can go on eating cheese especially your american cheese because and an animal didn't have to die for cheese to be made.



Please let me know what is true. Thank you.



Sincerely,

Tracy Zamost

Hi Tracy,



Thank you for visiting http://www.kraftfoods.com/.



Most of the cheeses we manufacture contain a microbiologically

produced coagulating enzyme called chymosin. The process of

converting milk into cheese is dependent on the use of this enzyme.



Our Sharp, Extra Sharp Cheddar and Romano cheeses may contain animal

derived enzymes which assist in their flavor and texture development.



Other products utilize a microbial rennet which is derived from the

growth of pure cultures of bacteria or mold. KRAFT Natural Swiss

Cheese and KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese are example of products that

contain this type of enzyme.



Soft cheeses utilize another method of coagulating milk by the growth

of pure cultures of bacteria in the milk and the development of lactic

acid. Our cream cheese products such as PHILADELPHIA BRAND Cream

Cheese and Light PHILADELPHIA BRAND Neufchatel Cheese fall into this

category.



I hope that this has given you some useful information.



Again, thanks for contacting us, and I hope you'll continue to enjoy

our products.

信中有關那罐卡夫綠色芝士粉的製作相關為　”Other products utilize a microbial rennet which is derived from the

growth of pure cultures of bacteria or mold. KRAFT Natural Swiss

Cheese and KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese are example of products that

contain this type of enzyme."



"utilize a microbial rennet which is derived from the

growth of pure cultures of bacteria or mold" 翻譯應該為"利用由單純細菌或霉菌所培養的微生物凝乳酵素" (如果有錯請更正）





如果照以上卡夫美國原廠所回覆的，卡夫芝士粉應該是素食者可使用的。　不過就像我之前所說的，這種東西眾說紛紜，而且吃素的人又分好多種程度（吃蛋、吃奶、只要不傷害動物的就可以吃、只要不是我殺的就可以吃、只要不是為我死的就可以吃.....etc)

所以商家的解釋在這邊，但是如果還是有疑慮的或是仍覺得不放心的，還是可不吃就不吃囉！



希望這些資訊對大家有幫助!
