Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application to Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration (Tasty Baking Company, Common Stock, $0.50, Par Value) 
File No. 1-5084

October 17, 1996.
    Tasty Baking Company (``Company'') has filed an application with 
the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to 
Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') and Rule 
12d2-2(d) promulgated thereunder, to withdraw the above specified 
security (``Security'') from listing and registration on the American 
Stock Exchange, Inc. (``Amex'').
    The reasons alleged in the application for withdrawing the Security 
from listing and registration include the following:
    According to the Company, the Board of Directors (the ``Board'') 
adopted a resolution authorizing the withdrawal of the Security from 
listing on the Amex. The decision of the Board on this matter followed 
a study and was based upon the belief that listing the Security on the 
NYSE will be more beneficial to shareholders of the Company for the 
following reasons:
    (1) The Company believes that listing its Security on the NYSE will 
result in increased visibility and sponsorship for

the Security of the Company than is presently available on the Amex.
    (2) The Company believes that the firms trading in the Security of 
the Company on the Amex will also be inclined to issue research reports 
concerning the Company, thereby increasing the number of firms 
providing institutional research and advisory reports regarding the 
Company.
    Any interested person may, on or before November 7, 1996, submit by 
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549, facts bearing upon whether 
the application has been made in accordance with the rules of the 
exchanges and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission 
for the protection of investors. The Commission, based on the 
information submitted to it, will issue an order granting the 
application after the date mentioned above, unless the Commission 
determines to order a hearing on the matter.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority.
Jonathan G. Katz,
Secretary.
