Kind: research · Impact: low

## In brief

- A study in the Nature journal s41538-026-01192-w describes the first application of an integrated microbiological and (meta)genomics approach to verify the biological origin of rennet products.
- The same approach is used to assess their microbial safety.

## Why it matters

The method offers a way to check what biological source a rennet product actually comes from and whether it is microbially safe, which matters for cheese makers and food safety testing.
