What makes a cheese non-GMO, and how can I identify non-GMO cheeses? <\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\"Agreen\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

The guarantee of a non-GMO product (made without using genetic engineering) can be tricky when it comes to cheese, which rarely contains ingredients that have themselves been genetically modified. For evidence of GMOs, then, we look further down the food chain. In the case of milk, animals may have been fed genetically modified products (such as certain varieties of corn, alfalfa hay, or soybeans), and the rennet (the enzyme used to coagulate that milk during cheesemaking) may have been produced using engineered microbes. Since tracking these isn\u2019t always easy, the best way to shop with confidence is to buy non-GMO-verified or USDA Certified Organic products (both of which cannot contain GMOs).<\/p>\n

Another solution is to buy from a cheesemaker you trust. For example, many small-scale farmstead operations use non-GMO feed and traditional or non-engineered microbial rennet but don\u2019t pursue non-GMO or Certified Organic labeling due to cost and management obstacles. It pays to do a little research\u2014if you seek local producers and inquire about milk source and other ingredients used, chances are you\u2019ll find plenty of cheeses that satisfy your preferences.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
