    It’s not edible. The chip is in the packaging. Chipping packaging is normal and the headline is funny but sensational

    Now producers have been trialling the most modern of authentication methods – microtransponders about the size of a grain of salt inserted into the labels found on the rind of 120,000 wheels of parmigiano reggiano.

    Edit or it might as well be edible no one knows since no ones eaten cheese with the packaging

      That’s not in the packaging, it’s in the rind of the cheese itself. The labels are also written on the cheese itself.

      I’m willing to bet some people on this planet have eaten the packaging at least once.

      into the labels found on the rind

      The labels are directly on the rind of the cheese - not on a sticker or something.

        Still in the rind. Chances of eating it unless you specifically want to eat it are nill

          Lots of people throw the rind in stews and sauces. It adds umami. So now I gotta fish out the bay leaf and a microchip.
