Tesco is putting metal strip security tags - usually reserved for pricier items like alcohol, razor bladed and CDs - on cheese.
Apparently, since the recession hit, there has been an increase in shoplifting at the stores and cheese is one of the top stolen items.
The Tesco in Brockworth, Gloucester, is one store implementing the change.
Godfrey Browning, a parish councillor in Brockworth, said: "Anything to discourage shoplifters is a good thing, and this is something I would certainly encourage. Meat and cheese is getting very expensive now, so this could be seen as necessary."
