Exercise 30

Utah Pie produced frozen pies in its Salt Lake City plant.Utah's competitors, Carnation, Pet, and Continental, sometimes sold pies in Salt Lake City at prices beneath those charged in other markets. Indeed, Continental's prices in Salt Lake City were beneath its direct costs plus overhead. Pet sold to Safeway using Safeway's private label at a price lower than that at which the same pies were sold under the Pet label. Pet employed an industrial spy to infiltrate Utah Pie and gather information. Utah Pie claimed that Carnation, Pet, and Continental were in violation of Robinson-Patman. Decide. Explain. See Utah Pie Co. v.Continental Baking Co., 386 U.S. 685 (1967).
