Trader Joes Cheddar Cheese Legal?

[Guest guest]

I was a bit confused about which cheeses are legal, I think the book

says that mild and medium cheddars are ok and sharp cheddar is not?

I just bought a block of Trader Joes Mild Cheddar Cheese, the

ingredients are:

Pasteurized milk, cheese cultures, salt, microbial rennet, and annatto

(for color).

The package says it was aged 60 days, is this legal? I just want to

make sure, because this is my first time introducing cheese! And for

the future, how do I know which other cheeses are legal?

Thanx!

as far as i know any cheese that is "real cheese" and

is aged for over 30 days it is legal. not sure about the annatto

color.

na,

Have you seen the SCD legal/illegal list on the breakingtheviciouscycle.info website? (Link below)

http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/legal/legal_illegal_d-n.htmIt mentions a lot of cheeses by name; for example, cheddar (says to use freely), swiss (says to use freely), gouda (says to use occasionally), feta (says to only use a little and only after 6 months of improvement). I don't know what " microbial rennet " is -- my cheddar cheese lists only milk, cheese cultures, salt, and that annatto for coloring. Someone on this list told me that annatto is legal, and we've certainly been eating a lot of it with no adverse effects.
