FLOWERING ONION DUST

What this record means

The record shows that “FLOWERING ONION DUST” is an abandoned application, not a live or registered mark, and the owner listed is FORD'S PRODUCE CO., INC., a corporation organized in North Carolina. The filing covered only one class – Class 030 “Staple Foods” – with the specific description “flour based breader mix to coat onions before cooking,” first used in commerce on May 11, 1998. Because the claim is limited to that particular onion‑coating mix, a similar name used for unrelated foods or non‑food products would be farther from the scope shown here, but a name used on any onion‑related seasoning or coating could raise a closer record‑based concern. The prosecution history ends with an abandonment on August 6, 1999 after the applicant failed to respond to a non‑final office action, and no enforcement actions appear in the file. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market an onion‑coating product under a similar name.
