I am not sure how old the article I found about classico is though. I will email them as well and update this.

I also am waiting for a reply about the enzyme modified egg yolk in classico’s alfredo. It appears that there is not romano in every variety of alfredo sauce by Bertolli.
Would be nice to find a vegetarian pre made alfredo!

It’s nice that they are being transparent.

A little pricey but I use Rao’s sauces because their ingredients are so simple and it’s good.

I had no idea about sugar and bone char. Apparently all UK sugar doesn’t use it though, so that’s a relief!

That was a surprisingly informative and straightforward response I wouldn’t typically expect from a corporation.
While I encourage them to utilize microbiological enzymes for all of their cheeses, I do appreciate their transparency.

I mostly make it at home. But thanks for the info and good to know that they actually reply to their customers’ queries and are so transparent.

I had no idea they were owned by Mizkan! They’re a huge Japanese company mostly known for vinegars, and based right where I used to live in Japan. (Aichi prefecture). Nostalgia bomb.

Thanks! As much as I don’t want to let rennet ruin foods for me, it does. If anyone is looking for a safe parmesan Stella brand block parmesan is vegetarian! It’s the only one I’ve found so far that is, well besides Kraft shaker cheese, but that’s barely parmesan. Red Baron cheese pizza is also vegetarian. I’ve contacted both companies but did so by phone, so don’t have an email to share. I wish there were a huge list that’s easily searchable to look up the vegetarian status of certain foods. It’d make my life much easier!

Honestly, I just bought sauce today. Would have been cool to see this before hand. But hey, at least now I know.
Thank you for posting it!

There should be a distinction between dietary vegetarians and moral vegetarians. If like Native Americans we routinely caught fish and used it as fertilizer does that violate some people’s vegetarianism principles as the fish died to grow the corn. It was intentional purposeful and as surely as eating the fish outright it killed the fish. Bone meal and dried blood and fish emulsion are rather common organic fertilizers that exist in larger quantities because of carnivores. Non-organic foods are less likely to have the recently dead animals used on them. And if you’re ok with modifying bacteria to produce rennet or similar agents why not other GMOs. What parts are “morality” ( ok n quotations as some may feel consuming animals is immortal and others feel it is fine) and what parts are nutritional?
