Montana uses Sell-By dates to artificially ban out-of-state milk.
They want to promote in-state business (dairy farmers).
Montana purposefully has short Sell-by diary dates, because it makes it prohibitive for an out-of-state dairy to transport their milk into Montana.

- anigbrowl 2y agoI hate this kind of mendacity. Wanting to protect their dairy industry is understandable, but perpetuating a fraud upon consumers is not the way to do it.

- EasyMark 2y agoI think they mean fraud in the classical use of the word rather than a strict legal statute meaning. m-w.com an act of deceiving or misrepresenting
