Vegetarian cheese

A friend was saying today that on TV recently these was an expose on vegetarian cheese and that some of it was NOT in fact vegetarian. I'm surprised that they could blatantly flout labeling laws like this and want to see it for myself. She thought it was Target but I've scanned Target's product check & it doesn't appear to be on there. Did anyone see it!

No, but Countdown's Home Brand regular 1kg block of Tasty cheese has 'non-animal rennet' specified in its list of ingredients and that's the one I buy.It's often on special too.

From what she said though the labels are wrong! I'm really hoping it's my friend who's wrong.

Why not contact the distributors www.progressive.co.nz! Surely they'd need to be truthful!

Homebrand doesn't label the 1kg Tasty block as 'vegetarian' - it's just stated on the ingredients that it contains 'non animal rennet'.
