Declaring brine on Appenzeller ingredients?
« on: December 19, 2011, 03:10:13 AM »
I notice that although appenzeller is brined in wine, herbs, and what have you, it's not listed in the ingredients.  If I were to produce such a cheese in the USA, would I have to list the wine and ad the general herbs and spices to the ingredient list?  We currently list the wine and beer for our soaked cheeses, but I assumed it was more for the selling point than the legality.

No, shouldn't, be. See 21 CFR 101.100 section A, in the beginning somewhere (IIRC, that's the processing aid section, but look it up, it's in there somewhere in 101.100).  Its insignificant and has no technical effect, so no.
