BOSTON, Aug. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- On January 3, 2023, Grillo's Pickles, Inc. filed federal Lanham Act and common law unfair competition claims against Patriot Pickle Inc., ARKK Food Company and Wahlburgers I, LLC for misleading consumers and retailers by labeling and marketing Wahlburgers pickles as "fresh," "all natural" and containing "no preservatives" when, to the contrary, Wahlburgers pickles contained sodium benzoate, an artificial chemical preservative. The misleading labeling of Wahlburgers pickles, combined with the similar packaging and near identical taste to all-natural Grillo's, has harmed Grillo's Pickles by diverting customers away from the brand and to Wahlburgers. Simultaneously, Grillo's filed a preliminary injunction motion asking the court to order Patriot Pickle to stop falsely advertising Wahlburgers pickles. 

Key Points: 
  • The misleading labeling of Wahlburgers pickles, combined with the similar packaging and near identical taste to all-natural Grillo's, has harmed Grillo's Pickles by diverting customers away from the brand and to Wahlburgers.
  • Simultaneously, Grillo's filed a preliminary injunction motion asking the court to order Patriot Pickle to stop falsely advertising Wahlburgers pickles.
  • Since then, Patriot Pickle has admitted in court filings that its Wahlburgers pickles did, in fact, contain the artificial preservative sodium benzoate.
  • According to Patriot Pickle, Wahlburgers pickles shipped before Patriot Pickle took corrective action to remedy the sodium benzoate issue are now, "...past their 'best by' date and are unlikely to be on store shelves."
