@arstechnica Meanwhile, plenty of tasty safe cheddar is made in Cheddar, England.

@MostlyHarmless @arstechnica the only cheddar made in Cheddar is made with raw milk (Cheddar Gorge Cheese and it's delicious). It's not the milk, it's the oversight as this sort of thing doesn't happen in other places with raw milk cheese as a norm.

@teruterubozu @MostlyHarmless @arstechnica It seems the USA allows poor hygiene standards and technical remediation, see also chlorinated chicken and washed eggs that have to stored in a fridge. Europe prefers to enforce hygiene rules. This produces a better product and is better for animal welfare.
