A derogatory phrase used to describe a cheese that has little or no texture or flavour when that particular verity of cheese is supposed to have a certain texture and/or flavour, however mild.

Indicated that the person thinks the cheese is only fit for use in a mouse trap.

Derives from the fact that a person would not use a very good (and hence expensive) cheese to bait a mouse trap. They would use the cheapest cheese they could find as They would not care that it had no taste because they did not actually intend to eat it.
"How was your cheese sandwich?"

"Awful, mousetrap cheese." Meaning "Awful, tasteless."
