British supermarkets add anti-theft protection to butter and cheese

The Editors, 19.07.2022

Until now, customers only knew the security tag from high-priced items such as alcohol or perfume. Now, several British supermarkets are also protecting basic foodstuffs such as cheese, butter and baby food with anti-theft technology.

In addition to rocketing prices for commodities such as oil and gas, basic foodstuffs are also becoming more and more expensive. For some households, they are no longer affordable – at least, this is the conclusion that can be drawn from the rise in shoplifting. Many supermarket chains are now taking security measures to protect their products from thieves. The pictures soon went viral on social media, especially on Twitter.
