cheese eater

One who squeals

A cheese eater is slang for an informant or snitch—someone who reports others' wrongdoing to authorities, especially in criminal or prison contexts: Nobody trusts a cheese eater.

The term suggests someone willing to sell out associates for personal benefit, like a rat drawn to cheese.

Less commonly, it simply describes someone who eats cheese.
