After years of lobbying, industrial producers are now allowed to make camembert with pasteurised milk. As a result, one of France's beloved cheeses may be disappearing – for good.

    "Consumers are going to be so lost"

    I hate this patronizing attitude. If I as a consumer want to switch to a more cheaply made product I'm not lost. You just wish I was forced to pick you out of having no other alternative.

    You were always allowed to choose the cheaper product. All that changed is that now the cheaper product may be sold under the same name as the more expensive product.

      Then if you want me to favor the more expensive one, you'll need some good advertising/information to educate and persuade me.

        They used to have precisely that in the different label they used. Now they changed the meaning of the label to include different standards.

          Pasteurized-milk camembert tastes smells strongly of ammonia. I expect that most French people will not want to spend money on that, given the breadth of choices.

          For export (like to the US), people with no choice will just get the inferior product with the known name.
