Police have seized 150 kilograms of cheese found in the back seat and boot of a car stopped in Sydney.
The cheese is believed to have been obtained illegally.
Officers pulled over the car at Carlingford, in Sydney's northwest, in the early hours of Thursday.
They allegedly found prohibited drugs and 150kg of Cheese King brand cheese.
The 31-year-old male passenger of the car was charged with possessing a prohibited drug and having goods in custody suspected of being stolen.
He was refused bail and will appear at Ryde local court on Thursday.
A police spokesman said officers he had no choice but to destroy the cache of dairy goods.
"It has all been destroyed" he said.
"Obviously, because it hadn't been refrigerated for a number of hours, it posed a potential health risk."
He would not say how the cheese was destroyed.
