Maybe I’m a picker eater, but I think I’d rather have an inauthentic product than eating a microchip.
What if the inauthentic product is made by my mate dodgy Dave who got a load of cheap milk and some dirty old metalwork, it's ok he flushed a load of industrial cleaner through them and it's good stuff they use it to clean engines at his brother's garage...
You'd be far better off not buying a prestige product and getting a good quality cheese from a reputable manufacturer at a price that doesn't include a huge markup due to perceived historic significance
I mean I was being a little jocular in my comment (since this tracker is on the outside) it doesn’t really matter.
But by preferring “inauthentic” I was thinking something like “Greek style cheese” which is just feta but made outside of Greece or sparking wine for champagne. So food standards still apply.
But yeah, they are trying to stop fraudulent claims.
