A: Thank you for your interest in the sustainability of Sargento® product packaging. We appreciate the chance to share our progress toward environmental responsibility. The Outer Bags for Snack Stick, String, and Cube Cheese are recyclable through in-store drop-off programs. Some materials are currently not recyclable, including the snack stick inner wrappers. We’re actively researching alternatives that meet food safety standards while improving recyclability. Sargento is committed to reducing our environmental impact. All our packaging is BPA-free and polycarbonate-free. Thank you for supporting our journey toward more sustainable packaging.

A: Hello! Most Sargento® natural cheeses are made with non-animal rennet. Rennet refers to the enzymes added to milk when making cheese to thicken the mixture to form the curds. Microbial rennet is derived from the fermentation process of certain “good” bacteria. The Sargento® natural cheeses that may contain animal enzymes are those generally considered traditional Italian cheese styles such as Romano, Provolone, Asiago, and Fontina. Those cheese varieties are found in our Italian blends, sliced Provolone, and potentially any product with this cheese type listed. All other Sargento® cheeses contain non-animal enzymes. None of our Natural Cheese products contain pork enzymes.

A: Thank you for your question. The milk used to make all Sargento® cheeses is pasteurized.
