(Friday, April 1, 2022 – 09:32:21 EST) – According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), new evidence has emerged that all forms of cheese curds are highly addictive. The FDA has a lengthly and detailed set of regulations on cheese. Most of the Most of the banned cheeses are illegal in the U.S. due to the use of unpasteurized milk, or raw milk, in their production. The FDA deems these milks a public health concern. Foodborne pathogens can grow and spread; pasteurization is meant to kill off these germs. There are some cheeses banned for other health reasons, too. You might be surprised to discover the germy (and even flea-ridden) cheeses people eat abroad — but that you’ll never find legally in the U.S.
Dr. Robert Califf, Commissioner of the FDA stated during a press conference early Friday morning, “These delicious morsels of fermented dairy (cheese curds, known locally as “squeakers”) are the leading cause of an overfilled cheese drawer in the Jenkins-Hutchins household.”
Due to the serious nature of this new information, the FDA will be banning all forms of curded cheese in the greater Wisconsin and Illinois region. More to come as this story unfolds.
