If the microchip just contains a unique serial ID you can check with the producer, it would be just as easy to print it in the casing or glue it to the side of the wheel, no need to implant it in the outermost layer of cheese.

This is like that Brooklyn 99 episode where everyone is putting microchips in Terry's yogurt

So to combat fake cheese, real cheese makers change their cheese and make them crunchier? 🤔
