It is unlawful to sell certain types of cheese unless they are properly graded by a licensed state cheese grader.

The Law

Wisconsin takes its cheese so seriously that it employs certified cheese graders to judge the quality of cheddar, colby, and monterey jack. Selling ungraded cheese of these varieties commercially is strictly forbidden. This law ensures that the state's reputation for premium dairy remains completely untarnished by subpar curds.
