Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children
Childhood Obesity: Discussion (Resumed)
10:40 am
Mr. Paul Kelly:
It is worth noting that cheddar cheese is specifically regulated for. There is European legislation that outlines the specification for cheddar cheese. The only difference is that stringy cheese goes through an extrusion process. In short, the cheese goes through a metal pipe where there is an application of heat and pressure to give it the physical characteristics with which we are all familiar.
