Greece Will Form Special `feta Police'

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Filed at 12:01 p.m. ET

ATHENS, Greece (AP) -- Greece has declared war on bad cheese and vowed to form a special ``feta police'' after three tons of the famous Greek product arrived
in Norway tainted with listeria.

Agriculture Minister Giorgios Dris said in comments published Friday that a cheese-control squad was needed to avoid further blows to the reputation of one of
Greece's main exports.

``We will be merciless,'' Dris said, who dubbed the new unit the ``feta police.''

I love the stuff (even if it does remind me of when my kids used to puke up their milk); hope the 'feta police' don't drive the price up.
