    How is a microchip edible? Big as a sand grain? How does it work? How long has this tech existed? How many microchips have I eaten? Do they stop working if I eat them?

      It’s not edible. The chip is in the packaging. Chipping packaging is normal and the headline is funny but sensational

      Now producers have been trialling the most modern of authentication methods – microtransponders about the size of a grain of salt inserted into the labels found on the rind of 120,000 wheels of parmigiano reggiano.

      Edit or it might as well be edible no one knows since no ones eaten cheese with the packaging
