Okay...
That still begs the question, why are they considered edible? Are people eating the labels? 🤔
Probably because otherwise people would be like "yOuRe PuTtInG mEtAl IN mY cHEeSe"
Even if it's just the size of a grain of sand, I don't want to worry about biting down on that.
I would too, but it goes in the shell/outside that goes around the cheese wheel, not in the cheese itself
I'm just saying, there's a reason we're not allowed to have kinder surprise eggs in the US. If we can find a way to hurt ourselves with food we will. And then we will sue.
I mean... yeah. That is a very reasonable concern.
It is if it's anywhere that's eaten it is, but the outer rim of the cheese wheel doesn't get eaten
