Odd Laws - Of course Kerrygold Butter is illegal in our Dairyland.

What else? Provide proof?

Same deal with my chips in California?

Packaging and labeling laws, or not trying to compete with other brands that are owned by the same conglomerate. Sometimes just government stupidity.  

Yay protectionism.

In the 1960s it was illegal to sell yellow margarine in Wisconsin, so it wouldn't be confused with butter.  It had to be packaged white, and came with a little packet of yellow coloring to be mixed in by the consumer.

There are lots of reason why things may not be sold in CA.  Most would not be called odd laws, just stupid.

Prime example.  These labels are EVERYWHERE, and of course functionally useless.  If you want to sell in CA though you need to have one if in the most extreme possibilities your product contains something that in the slightest amount may in some way possibly cause cancer... which is most anything.  It's even possible that the plastic in that bags window might require it!!

In reply to Duke :

My Mom has told me that during WW2, they could not get butter and the margarine they were able to purchase came with a little bit of yellow dye to be mixed in.  The attached article touches on that and adds some detail to your statement.

You linked a 7 year old article. I bought KerryGold in Southern Wisconsin from a Wisconsin based grocery store last week.

In reply to RacetruckRon :

Doh!

I missed that - okay - focus on those chips.......LOL 

Woodman's in Waukesha (and probably elsewhere) has it.
