Grillo's Pickles suing competitor again to defend its product

Grillo’s Pickles at a Roche Bros. grocery store in downtown Boston. The company is suing another packaged pickle seller, claiming it has taken its recipe to sell a cheaper product.

Grillo’s Pickles, a Needham company that’s on the grocery shelves of Walmart, Stop & Shop, Whole Foods Market and others, is suing a competitor a second time for what it says is theft of its proprietary recipe.

Patriot Pickle is the same pickle maker it sued in January for the New Jersey-based company's role in producing the products for a big Boston-area food and retail name, Walhburgers. In that case, the issue was around the packaged pickles that Patriot Pickle was making for Wahlburgers.
