Re: Lifeways Farmer Cheese

[Guest guest]

Hi Misha,My understanding is that it is legal. I have been eating lifeway for over 2 months and I haven't had any problems. I contacted them via email and this is what they said.

Hello, our cheese is a dry curd cheese, nothing added after cooking and culturing, nothing.  The cultures that are added do not include bifido or bifido strains. I didn't notice the label listing sugar though so that's slightly concerning. On the other hand, they respond promptly to email inquiries. Their email is INFO .

Sincerely,Joe

Dear Joe,Thanks very much! I did contact them and here's what they said:Yes our farmers cheese is perfect for the SCD as we get many

requests about it  We do not add anything to the cheese after it is made.  Not

sure why other brands say 0, that’s not really possible as all cheese inherently

has some lactose in it at the time of processing, even though it is removed

when its finished.  I think its how they choose to view their labeling requirements.So looks like it is indeed legal, as I had thought. Whew!misha
