Parmigiano-Reggiano makers are putting edible microchips the size of a grain of sand into their 90-pound cheese wheels to combat counterfeiters::Italian Parmigiano-Reggiano makers are using microchips to verify the authenticity of their products and thwart scammers.
It is just glued on it. It’s just on the label, not implanted inside the cheese wheel. The “you could be eating microchips!!!” part of the article is pure clickbait.
All they say is they’d be safe to eat if for some reason it ended up in the cheese. Like the rest of the label I guess.
