J.M. Smucker is suing Trader Joe’s over crustless sandwiches

(NBC, KYMA) - Trader Joe's is facing a legal fight over one of its popular grab-and-go snacks.

A federal judge said a lawsuit from the maker of Uncrustables can move forward.

J.M. Smucker is suing trader joe's over the grocery chain's crustless sandwiches, arguing they are too similar to its Uncrustables brand and infringe on its trademark.

Trader Joe's has pushed back, saying differences in the sandwiches' shape and packaging set the products apart.

A federal judge has ruled Smucker can continue with the lawsuit.

The company is seeking damages and wants Trader Joe's to destroy the products at the center of the dispute.

The case now moves forward in federal court.
