Pre-packaged Gorgonzola cheese in trays is becoming more and more popular.
Like for any other food product, cheese is pre-portioned for “convenience” and “ease of consumption”.
Are there any risks in terms of consumer safety?
No, quite the opposite! Obviously if strict procedures are followed.
Portioning is carried out in controlled conditions, after the cheeses have been carefully cleaned. The process takes place in a controlled environment. The cutting and separation of the slices is safer than in shop or home conditions.
Additionally, the cheese is protected by the containers, which limit potential contamination deriving from contact between the cut cheese and the external environment.
In a nutshell, better and longer product preservation also comes with guaranteed safety for consumers.
