I believe the Big Cheese cartel does something similar. Out of date cheese is usually perfectly good. And can be very very tasty. I got some past its useby date vintage cheddar once that was DELICIOUS - a vast improvement on the regular stuff. And not stinky at all - just mellow and nutty and a welcome bit of sharpness.
Dunno what big manufacturers are like, but where I work our use by is fairly conservative. Past use by for us is past it’s optimal freshness but still ok.

The 1 month outta date lasagne use by was ruse likely pedalled by the Big Lasagne cartel.
All systems nominal.

100% I prefer getting soft cheese right on code and letting it ripen a bit more.
You’d love Piedmonte’s supermarket in North Fitzroy - 1 zillion soft cheeses of kinds I’ve never seen nor heard tell of. Exxy but mega-splendid.
Sounds deliciously dangerous
