What's the Most Stolen Food Product in the World?

October 18, 2011

What's the most stolen food product in the world? If you guessed cheese, you are either very observant (I suppose I could've picked a more cryptic lead photo) or read the same Sky News article I did. A new report from the Centre of Retail Research reveals that the loss percentage of cheese in the U.K. is 3.9 percent -- well over the global average of 1.29 percent.

This loss percentage has caused industry experts to label cheese as a "high-risk" item. The total percentage of stolen goods is up 6.2 percent over last year in the U.K. alone, according to the CRR study.
