Mozzarella is a fresh Italian cheese traditionally made from buffalo milk or cow's milk, and its halal status is mushbooh (doubtful) due to the use of animal rennet in its production. Rennet is a complex of enzymes used to coagulate milk into cheese curds. Traditional mozzarella uses animal rennet extracted from the stomach lining of unweaned calves, kids, or lambs. If this animal rennet is derived from animals not slaughtered according to Islamic requirements (zabiha), then by the Hanafi position (the majority position among scholars), the resulting cheese would be haram or at minimum mushbooh. There are four main types of rennet used in cheese production: (1) Animal rennet from halal-slaughtered animals — halal; (2) Microbial or vegetable rennet — halal; (3) GMO-derived chymosin (fermentation-produced chymosin, FPC) — accepted as halal by IFANCA, JAKIM, and most contemporary scholars; (4) Animal rennet from non-halal-slaughtered animals — haram according to Hanafi scholars, mushbooh at best. Most commercial mozzarella in Western countries uses microbial rennet or fermentation-produced chymosin, which is halal. However, artisan and imported Italian mozzarella may use traditional calf rennet. Consumers must check labels for rennet type or seek halal-certified mozzarella. Many halal-certified mozzarella brands are available internationally.
