are the microchips in the cheese or in the packaging? cause the former is ludicrous.

Parmigiano Reggiano doesn't have packaging per se. It travels very well because of the crust, and because it's a fuck-you heavy wheel of aged cheese, as long as the temperature doesn't get too high. The Parmigiano Reggiano consortium is living proof of a good idea ruined by the profit motive, and becoming the standard/goal for any other smaller, consortia. So yeah, very likely they just put the microchip somewhere in the crust (which nobody eats and is only good to put in sauce/stock)
