Answer

Yes—if by “Bahu-ghāt” you mean something that involves significant himsā / harm, then cheese is generally treated that way in Jain food guidance. Traditional Jain guides list cheese among foods that should not be consumed. ( jainworld.jainworld.com)

Explanation

In Jain dietary rules, cheese is usually avoided because it comes from milk and is placed with other forbidden or avoidable dairy items in many Jain lists. One Jain guide explicitly says, “Brinjal, cheese, cream, honey, butter etc. should not be consumed.” Another Jain source groups milk, cheese, butter, ghee, and ice cream among animal products avoided in a Jain-ethical lifestyle.

Spiritual Understanding

From the Jain perspective, the goal is to reduce harm as much as possible. So for a strict Jain diet, cheese is generally not considered suitable. ( jainworld.jainworld.com)
