Cheese commonly contains animal products...look for the ingredient 'rennet'.Original Post Deleted
Not hard to avoid at the supermarket in western countries but I can imagine it's a PITA here and forget it in restaurants.
Rennet
In cheese making, for milk to separate into curds and whey (curdling), the process requires the addition of rennet. Rennet contains the enzyme chymosin. Rennet can be sourced from the abomasum (fourth stomach) of newly-born calves where the chymosin aids digestion and absorption of milk. Adult cows do not have this enzyme. Chymosin is extracted from slaughtered calves by washing and drying the stomach lining, which is cut into small pieces and macerated in a solution of boric acid/brine for 4-5 days. Three of the major sources of protease for coagulating milk are from animal sources, veal calves, adult cows and pigs, the other three are from fungi.
Well, you don't have to kill the animal to get milk.

Many vegetarians choose to be dairy free as well because of:

Further adding to Endermans post...He's right about Rennet.
Here is a brief list of items that are not permitted in Halal certified foods based on a quick google as to what Halal certification actually means.

-Enzymes (microbial enzymes are permissible)
-Gelatine from non-Halal source (fish gelatine is Halal)
-L-cysteine (if from human hair)
-Lard
-Lipase (only animal lipase need be avoided)
-Non-Halal animal shortening
-Pork products

The whole issue was one of pedantry... That'd be vegan not vegetarian.
I was actually brought up vegetarian and only started eating meat in my early teens. What amazed me as a kid was how often people offered me fish, thinking it was vegetarian.
Now I'm interested to know the logic behind that!
