                      POWER OF ATTORNEY

     Know all by these presents, that the undersigned hereby
constitutes and appoints each of A. Fred Ruttenberg and Dennis

attorney-in-fact to:

     1.    prepare, execute in the undersigned's name and on the
undersigned's behalf, and submit to the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a Form ID, including amendments
thereto, and any other documents necessary or appropriate to
obtain codes and passwords enabling the undersigned to make
electronic filings with the SEC of reports required by Section
16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any rule or
regulation of the SEC;

     2.     execute for and on behalf of the undersigned, in the
undersigned's capacity as an officer and/or director of J & J
Snack Foods Corp. (the "Company"), Forms 3, 4, and 5 in
accordance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 and the rules thereunder, and any other forms or reports the
undersigned may be required to file in connection with the
undersigned's ownership, acquisition, or disposition of
securities of the Company;

     3.     do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf o
the undersigned which may be necessary or desirable to complete
and execute any such Form 3, 4, and 5, or other form or report,
and timely file such form or report with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission and any stock exchange or
similar authority; and

     4.     take any other action of any type whatsoever in
connection with the foregoing which, in the opinion of such
attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit to, in the best interest of,
or legally required by, the undersigned, it being understood that
the documents executed by such attorney-in-fact on behalf of the
undersigned pursuant to this Power of Attorney shall be in such
form and shall contain such terms and conditions as such
attorney-in-fact may approve in such attorney-in-fact's
discretion.

     The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact
full power and authority to do and perform any and every act and
thing whatsoever requisite, necessary, or proper to be done in
the exercise of any of the rights and powers herein granted, as
fully to all intents and purposes as the undersigned might or
could do if personally present, with full power of substitution
or revocation, hereby ratifying and confirming all that such
attorney-in-fact, or such attorney-in-fact's substitute of
substitutes, shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of
this power of attorney and the rights and powers herein granted.
The undersigned acknowledges that the foregoing attorneys-in-

foregoing attorneys-in-fact.
     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of
Attorney to be executed as of this 3rd day of September 3, 2010.
