Cheese Friday: Sunken Treasure

From The Winnipeg Sun

SAGUENAY, Que. -- A cheese company, that made headlines last year after losing 800 kilograms of cheddar in the Saguenay fjord, has succeeded in harvesting a second batch that was submerged last fall. The cheddar will undergo a battery of tests. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has prohibited the company from selling the product because it can't guarantee its safety. Quebec's Agriculture, Fish and Food Department has contended that the submerged cheese has been placed in an environment that can't be controlled. A year ago, professional divers were unable to find a first batch of cheese, valued at $52,000, that was submerged in 2004.

It turns out that selling $52,000 worth of Cheese isn't as easy as you would think.
