MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) - It's been synonymous with Vermont since its founding in 1919.
But the Cabot Creamery Cooperative, maker of cheese, butter and other dairy products, is phasing out labels with the state's name on the logo.
The word `Vermont' stamped over a green outline of the state is being dropped in favor of a green barn and the words "Owned by our Farm Families in New York & New England."
State officials are expressing concern about the change, saying Cabot's broad, international distribution helps promote other Vermont products and tourism.
The company says it needs to comply with Vermont's truth-in-labeling law, and that not all the milk and cream it uses come from the Green Mountain State.
