To embed the p-Chip in a Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese wheel, the chip is inserted into a casein label on the cheese wheel, which becomes part of the cheese rind during its preparation process. Cheese buyers aren't going to eat this embedded label.

They're not liberally sprinkling the cheese with microchips that can be picked out, they're sticking single chips on full wheels.

Fair enough, read the tech stack more than the implementation. It makes me wonder why not RFID or NFC instead? The only substantial difference would be antenna size and visibility, my only hinch is that it'd be an appearance thing

I'm guessing it's down to food regulations - I don't think there are edible NFC implementations available (I suspect it's down to the power requirements, as far as I can tell the reason they use light stimulation for power transfer instead of the normal inductive method is so that you don't need the large receiving antenna, which probably makes it more "edible"?), even though it's clearly the superior option.
