lets see: aldi, schnucks, publix, great value, and good&gather, and more. just like usual! would we rather pay $3 less, and get metal fragments in our cheese, or pay $3 more, and significantly reduce the risk of such contamination? like i always say, "the high cost of low price" - you get what you pay for.
