If the FDA knew what was on the surface of most cheese anyway (look up cheese mites) they would likely ban it all.

The statement caused outrage in the artisan cheese community
Wow, even the artisan cheese people have a "community". Whatever happened to using the term "industry"?
That rant over, I'm glad they backed down. Cheese is one of life's little joys.

this was so ridiculous... how long has cheese been around? wine? bread? and they want to come and tell artisans how to do it? arrogance!
FDA better not move my cheese!

Looks like the FDA discovered what happens when you try to cut the cheese to the public.

Backing down, for now.
They will find other ways to one day control all food production.

A look at all the things they have backed off of will give a good view of the tyranny they would inflict if left unopposed.
