Some Ahadith are presented as this is of paramount importance as in many foods (cooked or cold), cheese is added, particularly in western foods.

Rennet in Making of Cheese: عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَنَانِ بْنِ سَدِيرٍ قَالَ سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ أَنَا حَاضِرٌ عِنْدَهُ عَنْ جَدْيٍ يَرْضِعُ مِنْ خِنْزِيرَةٍ حَتَّى كَبِرَ وَ شَبَّ وَ اشْتَدَّ عَظْمُهُ ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَجُلًا اسْتَفْحَلَهُ فِي غَنَمِهِ فَأُخْرِجَ لَهُ نَسْلٌ فَقَالَ أَمَّا مَا عَرَفْتَ مِنْ نَسْلِهِ بِعَيْنِهِ فَلَا تَقْرَبَنَّهُ وَ أَمَّا مَا لَمْ تَعْرِفْهُ فَكُلْهُ فَهُوَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْجُبُنِّ وَ لَا تَسْأَلْ عَنْهُ .

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Hanan Bin Sudeyr who said, ‘Abu Abdullah -asws was asked and I was there in his -asws presence, about a baby goat which was breast-fed from a female pig until it was big, and a youth, and its bones were strong. Then a man grew him among his flock, so there came out a lineage for it.

So he -asws said: ‘As for what is recognised from its lineage exactly, so do not go near it, and as for what is not recognised, so eat it, for it is at the status of the cheese , and do not ask about it’.
