Impounded "Non-Cheese" Continues to Mystify Budapest

Uncertainty continues to swirl around a little-reported seizure of five tons of "fake" cheese at an unidentified cheese factory in Budapest last week. According to privatbankar.hu, the Budapest Animal Health Service impounded the sajt after it was determined that vegetable fat had been added to some real cheese during production, rendering it into something that isn't cheese, or at least cannot legally be called "cheese" any more. Despite the seizure, chief veterinarian Ádám Hajós apparently stressed that consuming such non-cheese is not harmful to human health. As for the uncertainty, we'll limit our questions to three.

First, if the addition of little bit of vegetable fat means you can't legally call cheese "cheese," then how come if you stuff a pigs stomach with assorted pig snouts, bungs and ganglia, you can call it disznósajt (pig cheese), even if it's radioactive. Second, why is the policing of the nation's cheese being done by the animal health authorities? And third - and most - important, has anyone informed the Canadians?
