Black markets are a growing problem in the world, and even the food market is no exception in this case. More and more foods are stolen from stores and later resold, and the most traded food is - cheese!
The reason for this is a bit. First of all, there is a high demand for cheese - most stolen cheese is sold to smaller shops and restaurants. Also, cheeses can be found in small and "portable" formats that are ideal for thieves since they can be easily hidden.
According to the researcher of American Adweek, the list of foodstuffs that are mostly stolen besides cheese include fresh meat, alcoholic beverages, sweets and chocolates, seafood and various spices (among them the "most popular" vanilla).
