3-18-17 butter lawsuit

todayMarch 18, 2017

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin consumers tired of trekking across state lines to buy a popular Irish butter are taking their fight to court. A 1953 state law bans the sale of Kerrygold butter in Wisconsin, along with any other butter that hasn’t been locally graded for quality. A handful of butter aficionados filed the lawsuit, saying it’s unconstitutional to require butter sold in the state to undergo a government-mandated taste test. The state agency named in the lawsuit says it must uphold the law.
