According to the U.K. Centre for Retail Research, cheese is stolen more frequently than any other food in the world. While not (yet) glamourized in any Hollywood films, cheese heists are a high-stakes game involving a mix of petty criminals, international black market cheese rings and, somewhat surprisingly, maybe even your favourite restaurant. “If you’re a foodie, and travelling the world, you’ve probably bumped into something that got on your plate in a bit more of an interesting way.”Translation: you’ve probably eaten stolen cheese. It’s not just stolen cheese shoppers have to look out for. Perhaps more worrying is the growing fake cheese market.
