BATON ROUGE, La. (WGNO) – Louisiana lawmakers got a chance to look over new alcoholic ice cream bars Thursday, the maker is trying to get legalized in the state.

They are called Buzzbars and legislators remain skeptical.

This is the second time House Bill 471, has been introduced. It would allow vendors to sell alcohol-infused ice cream in the state.

The state Attorney General’s Office shot down a request by a New York company wanting to sell wine ice cream last year, The Advocate reports. The Attorney General’s Office said then that the law would need to be changed before the frozen treats could hit stores.

The ice cream — with alcohol content ranging from 0.65 percent to 2.81 percent for the BuzzBars — is an adulterated food that needs an exemption in state law. Similar exemptions were given for boozy bonbons and fruitcake. HB471 would extend the exemption to alcohol-infused ice cream, The Advocate reports.

Last year, committee members were concerned that the ice cream might be market to minors.

Lobbyists for BuzzBar told lawmakers Thursday that would not be the case.

BuzzBar is made by a California company. According to their website BuzzBars are “a rich, dense ice cream made from the finest whole food ingredients with just the right amount of spirits to cool you off with a buzz.”
