Vermont’s Agency of Agriculture is opening up its records about consumer protection violations across the state.
The agency is responsible for food-related consumer protections including overstating product weight, mis-categorized maple products, and misstating product prices.
Violations can now be found at the agency’s website, where they’re listed by month. The site includes 16 violations between January and May of 2013 and has no entries after that.
In a release about the new data source, Agriculture Secretary Chuck Ross said it “offers greater visibility into the work we do to ensure consumer protection.”
