Trader Joe’s has had several other recalls over the past few months. Most recently, it recalled Almond Windmill cookies and Chocolate Chunk cookies in July for possible rocks in the products. Also in July, the store’s frozen Fully Cooked Falafels were recalled for potential rocks, and its Unexpected Broccoli Cheddar Soup was pulled from stores due to the potential presence of bugs in the soup. Earlier recalled products this year include the store’s Instant Cold Brew Coffee and a tomato-leaf scented candle, among others.
The Trader Joe’s Subreddit now includes comments expressing concern about the company’s safety and quality control. “It’s definitely making me more wary of buying anything except produce. This level of recalls just seems really concerning,” one poster said.
