British retailer Tesco has started a new initiative to try to stop shoplifting of .... cheese.
The company has started to put those little magnetic strips often found on CDs, razors and other high-value items on offerings in its cheese case and other grocery items. If the strips are not deactivated at the register, they will set off the store's security system.

Re: Stepping up security on cheese...
Interesting article. Wonder when it will come to our grocery stores. I'm sure Wal Mart and such must have seen an increase in their loss of merchandise. Meats can be expensive in an economic downturn.
