Why cheesemakers are injecting their parmesan with edible microchips

Parmigiano-Reggiano makers are putting edible microchips in their cheese in an attempt to beat counterfeiters, the Wall Street Journal reports.

The microchips offer blockchain-backed tracking, and real-time inventory control features that help buyers differentiate between authentic and fake products.
 

Casein Labels are an economic but effective traceability system for cheeses. Significant data like origin, health mark, consecutive number and more are printed on the side in contact with the cheese surface so they are protected by any external agents which might make them less clear. The proper use of Casein Labels is to place it on cheese during pressing and/or turning of cheese when its temperature and humidity are still high, it this way casein can be easily become part of the cheese surface.

Wasn't it supposed to be vaccines with the nanochips? :whistling:
You joke but I am seriously concerned about compatibility issues (specifically 5G reception) between vaccine nano-chips & these ones. I think I will stay off parmesan cheese for some time before the picture is clear.
