Mice take over Italian cheese factory
Food inspectors in northern Italy have closed a cheese factory after discovering mice were treating it as the ultimate all you can eat buffet.
The ravenous rodents ruined 80 tonnes of top quality Parmesan valued at 800,000 euros, that's nearly £700,000.
2010 Parmigiano-Reggiano cheeses were taken from the factory after inspectors discovered a number of dead mice who it seems had literally eaten themselves to death.
Imagine the sweats and hallucinations they'd have had!
Officials are looking in to the case at the moment although it seems there's a lot of holes in it.
Experts will now inspect the cheeses to decide whether they can be eaten or if they should be destroyed.
