Does the US not practice basic food safety? (answer: no, it doesn't)
I did some contracting for an NZ food manufacturer and EVERYTHING went through a metal detector after the packaging was sealed. It was regularly tested with a 0.5mm metal ball cast into a brick of some kind of acrylic/epoxy.
The later line had an x-ray too.
You donβt know at all, do you?

It's basic QA.
Bag it, metal detector, check weigher, throw it in a box, send some samples off to QA to swab for bugs and check for seal leaks.
That was bread but I doubt cheese is massively different.
