Frozen Dairy Food Test Action Started
A test case in Wisconsin aims to decide if frozen dairy foods or low butterfat content dairy products can be sold in stores alongside ice cream. Attorney Clifford Mathys organized the action after consultations with the State Department of Agriculture to interpret how the Supreme Court ruling applies to such products sold under conditions that could mislead the public. The attorney general interpreted the court’s ruling to mean frozen foods could not be sold in the same store where ice cream is dispensed.
