The streets will definitely be safer with 180 less kilos of chedder threatening public safety.

My best friend OD'd after injecting five whole Cheddars

This is indeed one cheesy topic. Chester would be proud.

Mmmm, 64 slices of American cheese

I'm assuming it has something to do with unsafe or potentially harmful processes.

the illegal dairy industry has become a multi billion dollar industry people dont know what theyre getting activated cheddars can be over 40 times more potent than grocer allotments

Casu martzu is a traditional Sardinian sheep milk cheese that contains live insect larvae (maggots). A variation of this cheese exists also in Corsica (France), where it is called casgiu merzu, and is especially produced in some Southern Corsican villages like Sartene.

Derived from pecorino, casu martzu goes beyond typical fermentation to a stage of decomposition, brought about by the digestive action of the larvae of the cheese fly of the Piophilidae family. These larvae are deliberately introduced to the cheese, promoting an advanced level of fermentation and breaking down of the cheese's fats. The texture of the cheese becomes very soft, with some liquid (called lgrima, Sardinian for "teardrop") seeping out. The larvae themselves appear as translucent white worms, roughly 8 mm (516 in) long.

Casu martzu is considered by Sardinian aficionados to be unsafe to eat when the maggots in the cheese have died. Because of this, only cheese in which the maggots are still alive is usually eaten, although allowances are made for cheese that has been refrigerated, which results in the maggots being killed. When the cheese has fermented enough, it is often cut into thin strips and spread on moistened Sardinian flatbread (pane carasau), to be served with a strong red wine like cannonau. Because the larvae in the cheese can launch themselves for distances up to 15 centimetres (6 in) when disturbed, diners hold their hands above the sandwich to prevent the maggots from leaping.

Casu martzu is believed to be an aphrodisiac by Sardinians.

According to some food scientists, it is possible for the larvae to survive the stomach acid and remain in the intestine, leading to a condition called pseudomyiasis.

Because of European Union food hygiene-health regulations, the cheese has been outlawed, and offenders face heavy fines. However, some Sardinians organized themselves in order to make casu martzu available on the black market, where it may be sold for double the price of an ordinary block of pecorino cheese. As of 2019, the illegal production of this cheese was estimated as 100 tonnes (98 long tons; 110 short tons) per year, worth between 2-3 million.

Casu martzu is among several cheeses that are not legal in the United States.

Nothing sexier than maggots in your cheese

You have to stop the source. The cartels.

Note: Mimolette is still available in the US at a few butcher shops and other specialty shops, despite technically being banned (I actually had it before in the US) and several of the cheeses are available and legal when pasteurized making them restricted, not banned.

Mimolette is a cheese traditionally produced around the city of Lille, France. The grey-colored rind of aged Mimolette occurs from cheese mites that are added to the surface of the cheese, which serve to enhance its flavor.

Milbenkse ("mite cheese") is a German specialty cheese. It is made by flavoring balls of quark (a type of soft cheese) with caraway and salt, allowing them to dry, and then leaving them in a wooden box containing rye flour and cheese mites for about three months. An enzyme in the digestive juices excreted by the mites causes the cheese to ripen.

I'm willing to accept that people are fine with eating bugs, since that's not actually that uncommon and it's just a cultural thing that makes me think it's gross, but when you start getting into having those bugs survive digestion and infest the gut, I'm okay with calling that a problem and banning it.

Now we know what they really mean when they talk about smoked cheese.
