There is a region here in Georgia, in and around Vidalia where Vidalia onions are grown. Georgia has strict legislation about what other onions grown outside this region can be called.
I’m sure that things like Wisconsin cheese, or many other products in this country have some sort of legal protection in this regard.

My BIL owned a few trucks recently and one of the runs they made was to Mexico to pick up Vidalia onions grown there. They were sold as Vidalias too.

If I ran a business, any state trying to impose name rules could KMA. Especially seeing how these are the same meats being made by emigrants from these countries.

Actually Vidalia (Toombs County) lost that battle and anyplace growing the “Vidalia” variety of onion can call it a Vidalia onion. They are now grown in about 20 counties in southern GA.
