Oh Chipotle, you will a hard time not looking silly when you step into science.

No one is believing your cheese is more ethical than anyone else's cheese.

@onetruecathal @kevinfolta neither. It's an FPC rennet that is not GM.

@DaveDandelion @ChipotleMedia @onetruecathal We know of three ways to make rennet. Calf parts, GM and microbial. Not sure which is chipotles
