Hi,

Straight from a dairy should be OK - but from your fridge or kitchen it is illegal....

 Although pigs are fed whey from the dairy,  How do you know they dont feed them cheese that has failed.  I guess they might like it....never really given my girls anything else but grain.

People eat blue vein cheeses and that does not make them sick either.  Peole also eat fungus and that is generally not a problem unles you eat a poisonous one.  Pigs sniff out truffles and they're a fungus...and i guess they have eaten them from time to time, but I think they probably have a muzzle on them to stop them from being consumed

think whats in a wild pigs diet. a bit of old cheese won't hurt them. however its not allowed by eu rules so don't bother.

I suppose the perceived problem is if the cheese, whilst in the fridge, has come into contact with meat.

Of course, if everyone was following good practise they'll be storing their uncooked meats beneath their cooked meats, and cheese separate to both...
