Is Cheese Alpha-Gal Friendly?

Avoid

Cheese is typically derived from milk (dairy) and thus contains alpha-gal.

Cheese and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet

Cheese is a versatile dairy product derived from the coagulation of milk protein, primarily casein. It is produced by fermenting milk, most commonly from cows, goats, or sheep, and involves the use of rennet or other coagulating agents to separate the curds from the whey. Cheese can vary widely in texture, flavor, and form, ranging from soft and spreadable varieties to hard and aged types.
