Italian Parmigiano-Reggiano makers are using microchips to verify the authenticity of their products and thwart scammers.

Sure why not? Add to the delicious medley of microplastics and persistent organic pollutants, what could go wrong!

    it depends on the company, some of them treat decently the cattles, like in the biologico products and other small companies; Parmigiano Regiano is not a company but a type of cheese, ultimately the consumer has the choice to choose the products where animals are well treated

    the counterfeit products will bypass any of those choice, that’s why a certificate origin is important

        i think we’re shifting the focus of the main topic, that was the microchip inside the crust of the seasoned cheese, not the ethics of the cheese process, I don’t even eat cheese and I don’t agree with the industrial process of gathering the milk

        but at some point to survive you have to eat something animal, but you can choose the most ethical one, I buy the eggs of chickens of a local farmer where I can see that they can play in the grass; will I steal the human babies like I do with the eggs?, no! but I need to survive, and the vegan supplements creates more pollution and more health problems than a bunch of local eggs
