Cheeseman


From an AP story -

Food and Drug Administration officials have told companies to look for a manufacturing technique that does not use lead, which can cause learning disabilities and behavioral problems.

It is not clear whether this lead can contaminate food stored in the lunch boxes. Mitchell Cheeseman, associate director of the FDA's Office of Food Additive Safety, noted that since food in lunch boxes is generally stored inside bags, the potential for contamination is minimized.

If the agency were able to prove that lead is migrating from the lunch box lining into food, it would step in, Cheeseman said.

The associate director of Food Additive Safety is named "Cheeseman"? Could this mean something sinister about cheese?
