for 25 years.
As noted in the complaint, in the latter part of 2013, ConAgra cancelled its contract to make peanut butter filled pretzels for Maxim, and Trader Joe's cancelled its 25 year-long agreement to buy peanut butter filled pretzels from Maxim. Immediately, Trader Joe's began buying the same peanut butter filled pretzels, which are made using Maxim's proprietary formula, directly from ConAgra as stated in the lawsuit. Maxim is asking for at least $60 million in damages.
