Headline screamed high tech low life to me!
damn so it isint big pharma putting microchips in people, it is big parma!
So when all those conspiracy nut jobs said that Big Pharma will put microchips in you, they were just out by a letter!
They are being placed on the casein label, a food-safe label commonly used in cheese production, which is placed on the cheese wheel.
I really hope when someone buys a meal they arent being served the label of cheese with their pasta…
nop, the hard crust outside is discarded.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The next time you dig into a bowl of pasta with freshly grated parmesan, you could accidentally be eating a microchip.
That’s because makers of Parmigiano-Reggiano are implanting microchips into the casings of their 90-pound cheese wheels as the latest move to ward off counterfeiters, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Parmigiano-Reggiano must be made in a particular area of northern Italy’s Emilia Romagna region and with specific production standards and techniques.
The microchip can then be scanned to pull up a unique serial ID that buyers can use to ensure they’ve got the real thing.
“We keep fighting with new methods,” Alberto Pecorari, whose job is to protect the product’s authenticity for a group that represents Parmigiano makers, told the Journal.
Parmigiano-Reggiano is among the many food products that are formally protected in the European Union, including Champagne from France and Feta from Greece.
