Is rennet added to cheese gluten free?

Cheese is typically gluten-free, regardless of whether rennet is added.

Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley. It is not present in milk, which is the main ingredient in cheese.

Rennet is an enzyme that is used to coagulate milk into cheese curds. It is typically made from the stomachs of young calves, but it can also be made from plant-based sources. Rennet itself does not contain gluten.

Therefore, cheese is generally considered to be gluten-free, even if rennet is added. However, it is important to check the label of any cheese product to make sure that it does not contain any gluten-containing ingredients.
