For fucks sake... This is literally about an RFID sticker that is put on the outside of whole cheese wheels.

So unless you buy whole 40kg wheel and then eat it with the rind... you are not eating any.

And also fuck that article for even mentioning that.

That makes it sound like the "edible" aspect of this is just an anti idiot feature. *Or just "printed" on it.

Either way, pointless article.

I believe regulations require that everything you put in or on food is technically editable. Like the paper stickers on bread or produce. They are disgusting, but if you or your child accidentally eats them, they are fine.

Those tiktokers eating the plastic around fruit chews are vindicated!

I did eat those chicken wrappers accidentally at a buffet.

You can probably get away with it more than once, after all there was that one person who was addicted to eating plastic. I will say it definitely isn't good for you to do it, so I definitely wouldn't recommend it.
