Comment on That gourmet luxury blend...
Railcar8095@lemm.ee 3 months agoA local supermarket chain got a fine because they had “fake cheese” sold in the cheese section. It wasn’t labeled as cheese, but it was under a large CHEESE banner. I think it was leftovers from cheese production just mixed up.
I’m ok with not throwing away stuff, but it tasted like sin, even for cheap industrial cheese standard.

Curds maybe. Seems an odd thing to fine someone over. Curds are made into cheese. Perhaps someone expects it to be generic “dairy”.

There’s a legal definition of what can be called cheese, same as with a lot of products. Curd can be used, what (I recall) is that they were mixing up leftover cheeses from production into a single one, which is not allowed in general.
I tried to find the article, it happens some time ago.

So you can have 10 cheeses but not a mutant 10-cheese. Interesting.
