      Even if it’s just the size of a grain of sand, I don’t want to worry about biting down on that.

        I would too, but it goes in the shell/outside that goes around the cheese wheel, not in the cheese itself

          I’m just saying, there’s a reason we’re not allowed to have kinder surprise eggs in the US. If we can find a way to hurt ourselves with food we will. And then we will sue.

        It is if it’s anywhere that’s eaten it is, but the outer rim of the cheese wheel doesn’t get eaten
