What is this? Some cheese sold as “Feta” outside the EU was not made under the rules that protect the name Feta. These rules say Feta must come from Greece and follow special methods.
What's happening? France made cheese called “Feta” and sent it to countries outside the EU. Greece reported this to the EU because the cheese did not meet the protected name rules.
Does this affect me? If you bought cheese labeled “Feta” from France in a country outside the EU, it may not be real Feta.
What should I do? Ask your local shop or a food expert if the cheese you bought is the real Greek Feta.
