I'm pretty sure Vermont has laws about naming a product Vermont if it's not actually from here

This? https://ago.vermont.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Vermont-Origin-Rule-FAQ.pdf

More specifically: https://ago.vermont.gov/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Rule-CP-120.pdf

> No person shall represent a company name that includes the word "Vermont" or any substantially similar term in close association with a food product that is not a Vermont product unless the representation is accompanied by the following clear and conspicuous disclosures in the manner described in this section or at the point of sale as described in CP 120.01(b)(ii): (a) If the company is not based in Vermont, then information sufficient to communicate that fact must be disclosed somewhere on the product. (b) If the product was not made in Vermont, then information sufficient to indicate the geographic area where the product was made must be disclosed on the front panel (such as "Made in Ohio," "Product of New England," or "Made in USA"). (c) If the product is one that, under the definition of "Vermont product," is required to have a primary ingredient that comes from Vermont, but in fact such ingredient comes from outside of Vermont, then information sufficient to indicate the geographic area where the ingredient comes from must be disclosed on the front panel (such as "Made from New England apples" or "Northeast blend syrup"). (d) Notwithstanding the above, the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of this section are satisfied if either the product was made in Vermont or a primary ingredient comes from Vermont, provided that: there is a disclosure on the front panel that the product was made in Vermont, or that a primary ingredient comes from Vermont, as the case may be; and there is a disclosure, not necessarily on the front panel, that the product was made outside of Vermont, or that a primary ingredient comes from outside of Vermont, as the case may be.

It looks to me like they might actually be in violation since they have Vermont in the name, and no disclosure on the front panel.

Grandfathered in. Production moved out of state prior to this law.
