What is this? Some feta cheese from Greece was checked and found to have small bits of cow DNA in it. This is not supposed to happen in cheese that is marked as “Feta PDO.”
What's happening? Germany told stores and buyers that some Greek feta cheese may not be pure sheep and goat milk as it should be.
Does this affect me? If you bought feta cheese from Greece, check the label or ask the store if it is real Feta PDO.
What should I do? If you are unsure, ask your pharmacist or doctor before eating it.
