Hmmm... curious. I haven't seen the post about Co-Jack not being legal during Induction, so I can't comment on that specifically. I've always assumed that it w
as legal for Induction. While all cheeses are not fair game (no cottage cheese or ricotta cheese, for example), a good many of them are, and I'm surprised that Co-Jack wouldn't be legal.
Here are the guidelines for cheese:
-----------------------------------------------
Cheese
You can consume three to four ounces daily of the following full-fat, firm, soft and semi-soft aged cheeses*, including:
cheddar
cow, sheep and goat cheese
cream cheese
Gouda
mozzarella
Roquefort and other blue cheeses
Swiss
*All cheeses have some carbohydrate content. The quantity you eat should be governed by that knowledge. The rule of thumb is to count 1 ounce of cheese as equivalent to 1 gram of carbohydrate. Note that cottage cheese, farmer's cheese and other fresh cheeses are not permitted during Induction. No "diet" cheese, cheese spreads or whey cheeses are permitted. Individuals with known yeast symptoms, dairy allergy or cheese intolerance must avoid cheese. Imitation cheese products are not allowed, except for soy or rice cheese but check the carbohydrate content.
-------------------------------------------
So, if wikipedia defines Co-Jack as a semi-hard cheese with a softness that relates to Mozzarella cheese, that means it's the colby part that is questionable, because it is specifically stated in the rules that mozzarella is allowed. I find Colby is quite similar to cheddar, which is also specifically stated as allowed.
Hopefully, someone who knows for sure will weigh in on this. Now I'm curious.
