Trader Joe’s: Decieving Customers Since 1958
I’m overjoyed to announce that within 6 months of the posting of this article, Trader Joe’s has removed ALL instances of artificial colors from their brand. Thank you for listening to your customers!
I stopped shopping at traditional grocery stores in 2011 around the same time that I went vegan.
The reasons were plentiful, but I cared most about avoiding:
- Artificial Colors
- Artificial Flavors
- Preservatives
- Other added “junk” ingredients
Now, if you’ve seen my write-up on the best vegan grocery stores, you’ll notice that I left out a big competitor: Trader Joe’s.
Some might be wondering why I would include a store like Sprouts and exclude TJ’s.. It really comes down to their morals as a company.
