The ingredients mention cheese, and cheese is made with rennet. Unless it's specified as non-animal in origin, then rennet comes from ruminant animals' stomach lining, as MrFalafel pointed out.

OK question for everyone, you've bought something you thought was veggie, but later on found out its not actually veggie!!
What do you do with it?
a) throw it away
b) give it to someone else
c) eat it and dont buy it again
