Jam and peanut butter maker Smucker’s has sued the popular grocery chain Trader Joe’s, claiming it copied its PB&J Uncrustables product.
The J.M. Smucker Company, commonly referred to as Smucker’s, said in a lawsuit filed in a federal court in Ohio on Monday that its pre-made and frozen-to-be-thawed handheld sandwiches are an American favorite thanks to “decades of marketing and product development costing over a billion dollars.”
