Interesting. "The ingredient, known as fermentation-produced chymosin (FPC), is a genetically engineered version of rennet, an enzyme used to coagulate milk during cheesemaking."
The cheeses I buy typically specify either animal-based or plant-based rennet. I wonder how labelers classify this FPC stuff.
cheese is a currency too
According to Rat, cheese is the original currency, and gold coins are round and yellow to imitate it: https://ratsays.substack.com/p/gold
(it's the umpteenth time this theory is brought up, but Rat is really proud of it)
oh wow, I had no idea!😻
Want to create cheese cartels with an underground market? Ban it.

I believe the current consensus is that yeast, mold, and other fungi are neither plants nor animals; and bacteria are even more distant cousins.
That distinction might be too subtle for the labeling authorities ;)
«For about a century, biology books have classified rabbits as a separate order from rodents. Unfortunately, rabbits can’t read and keep gnawing.»
I vaguely recall fungi used to be considered plants, too; and government might be slow to adapt.
Cheese is most definitely a drug, one to which I'm addicted.
Now that's some drug trafficking I can heartily support.
Cheese has Pfizer all over
