Quite some time ago, an anon here on GAW (in another much longer post about cheese) said she worked for Tillamook in a position to verify they don't use it. So it was a trust-me-bro, except that I'd read that other places before. And it definitely tastes better. I'll see if I can find something substantive.
I have checked their labels though, and some of their cheeses appear to be from milk that was never pasteurized. They don't say "raw" but since most every other cheese of theirs say pasteurized, I assume the few that don't say pasteurized aren't.
Checked Grok, and clicked through to the Tillamook site- apparently they only use animal rennet on one specific type. Everything else is vegetarian rennet, which is lame. Could be Pfizer, or maybe they do it themselves, but still lame. I'll delete my other comments here that state otherwise.
That would be helpful if you find that information. In the meantime I'll continue to stay away from it. My local store just has maybe 3 or 4 of their varieties and the ingredients just say "enzymes" and I still ended up losing a lot of bloat when I stopped eating it.

Edit: here's the old GAW post. https://greatawakening.win/p/17si0djBjS/x/c/4ZA0PPtHkUl still running on trust-me fumes.
