I don't value the USDA opinion that much. They deem all sorts of things edible. Chlorine washed meat that goes into pink slime for instance.

Bleach and swimming pool treatments are acceptable chemicals for sterilizing a well. There is a slight chlorine taste left after the well is flushed, but no different from the chlorine smell from city water, usually IME, on Fridays.

It appears that vegetarian cheese is not widely available in the US, so you are safe.
The only country in the world that requires their cheeses be labeled and showing the source of the rennet is the U.K. where the majority of cheeses are used using plant based (fungi or mushroom) rennet.
So, in the United States and most of the world, most cheeses are not vegetarian, while in the UK, you can easily check the label to see.

.... Buying things "suitable for vegetarians" is bad enough.
