Good question! You are asking about "Gevinat Akum," cheese of a non-jew. The American Hashgachot seem not to recognize this law. Please see our website on the link "Jewish Law," where we discuss the laws of "foods of a non-jew." It is clearly a problem today. It is a problem to eat any cheeses without knowing for certain that the cheese was processed completely under observant jewish supervision. Aaron Abadi
