Designed for use in low-level installations, child facilities, workplaces and hospitals, Safety Cheese is produced using a thermal process to ensure that, should it break, it will shatter into small cubes incapable of causing serious injury.

       // small cubes //   

       What if they were accidentally inhaled ? Someone might choke on them ! Oh, the humanity !

       If you can get that process right, it would become possible to replace the fixed glass in vehicles with cheese - a huge improvement in safety.

       //Such cheese should be tempered, or annealed.//

       //replace the fixed glass in vehicles with cheese// I think we could do that. Should be a bries.

       Bring out the cheese board of puns.

       But, equally, annealing cheese is unlikely to be effective. Our process (and I now have to shoot you) involves heating the cheese to just above its yield point, then chilling the exterior rapidly using jets of compressed argon.   

       There are other steps involved, of course, but for those I'd have to shoot you before I tell you.

       Ooooh ! Oooooh ! Can we do that ? Please ? Please, can we shoot [IT] ? Pleeeseee ... ppllleeeeeesess .. pretty please with knobs on ... please let us shoot him ...

       Just as long as Safety Cheese contains less than the permitted amounts of asbestos, benzene, mercury, TCDD, nicotine, lead, cadmium, tetrodotoxin, curare*, plutonium, DDT, Charles de Gaulle** or Sarin.   

       *Entirely innocuous if swallowed, apparently. That would have been an interesting day at the lab ... "Look, the mouse is fine, see ? All you have to do is take this teaspoonful of stuff ..."   

       **Lethally toxic even at doses too low for reliable detection.

       Mercury's OK to swallow, too.

       // allows you to print each cow //   

       Yes, but not all printers support double-sided printing; you might accidentally put the cow back in the printer the wrong way round, and end up with upside-down printing on one side.

       Hope you get more success than my magnetic cheese attempt.
not_morrison_rm, Jan 13 2019
  

       I think that's inevitable.
MaxwellBuchanan, Jan 13 2019
  

       Do you feel safer, now ?
8th of 7, Jan 14 2019
  

       //Designed for use in low-level installations// - not quite sure what this is, but I'd guess that a "low-level installation" is something near floor-level. I'm not certain why working at floor level with standard cheese presents a significant danger for a professional cheese-handler.
hippo, Jan 16 2019
  

       Clearly, you're not a mouse.
pertinax, Jan 16 2019
  

       Low-level installations typically require material that will not be dangerous if accidentally kicked or fallen against.
MaxwellBuchanan, Jan 16 2019
  

       //not be dangerous if accidentally kicked or fallen against// - surely a soft cheese would be more appropriate here, such as a brie, or a mild, fresh goats' cheese?
hippo, Jan 16 2019
  

       Entanglement issues. If you've ever had to rescue a small dog from a Camembert, you'll know.
MaxwellBuchanan, Jan 16 2019
  

       //rescue a small dog from a Camembert// - that sounds like a terrible feta
hippo, Jan 16 2019
  

       Experience shows that it is a practical impossibility to rescue a small Camembert from a dog (of any size).   

       // not be dangerous if accidentally kicked or fallen against. //   

       Like drunk* Glaswegians ?   

       *Non-drunk, non-confrontational unaggressive Glaswegians are presumably possible, but have never been recorded in the wild, and certainly not in captivity.
8th of 7, Jan 16 2019
  

       You'll never take us alive!
calum, Jan 16 2019
  

       We sincerely hope not. Dead, drunk Glaswegians (as opposed to dead-drunk Glaswegians) are marginally safer to deal with.
8th of 7, Jan 16 2019
  

       Sp. Un-aggressive
pertinax, Jan 16 2019
  

       Bah. Sp. fixed.
