Fruit Recall Hits Trader Joe's, Costco, Wal-Mart Stores

Blargh!

I'm glad I don't get produce at these places

has nothing to do with a bacteria and everything to do with Radiation

The US Government doesn't recall fruit if there are no illnesses reported... they never have..

read the article.

No illnesses have been reported,

Can we include the White House in this fruit recall ?

I don't shop at Trader Joe's much at all, but I have. If they are using the same suppliers as Walmart, well, they can keep their stuff. Damnit!

My friend and I got really sick eating Trader's spinach dip with chips in their store - pretty ill, actually.

I don't understand what people see in trader joes. It's dirty, cramped, dark and just weird. Not surprised you got sick there.

eat more fruit and veggies its healthy!
whoops! no dont eat more fruit and veggies it dangerous!

just have a coke instead.
unless you are in nyc of course.

I went there the one time so I could see what it's like. It's actually in a pretty nice part of town. I really wasn't that impressed, but they claim most of their stuff is organic... organic according to whom though?

That's what I wonder as well. Personally I think it is bs, they probably just source from big agri corps just like walmart. The labels are just changed to make it look like you are buying organic from small producers.

thanks 4 the info
and YOU took the words outta my mouth that wallee world SELLS the same fruit !! as costco and trader Joe ! LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!

What other stores were they sold in? What states?

It's not just TJ's, it affects Whole Paycheck too:

Trader joes and Aldi are related.

I hope it's not the organic lemons

No, TJ's does not -- and NEVER has -- claimed that "most of their stuff is organic." That may be a misperception that you hold, though.

good send those fags back home!

i've shopped there numerous times and they do no such "claiming" here. like every other store...they have organic and they have the regular. we get their mailing add and in the decade or longer that they've been here...i've never seen anything written or heard any spoken word where they claim most of their stuff is organic.

and their store is cleaner than most any grocery store i've been in...well lit with friendly employees that don't bother you unless you ask where something is. most stores are a little small...but it does help in overhead and to try and keep their prices down here. i'd shop there any day over walmart or costco.

This recall includes many stores:

Walmart

BJ's

Wegmans

Costco

Sams Club

There are others internationally too. The worst part is that symptoms can take up to 90 days to show. How can they say nobody has gotten sick?

when are you all gonna realize letting corporations make and sell the food is gonna end up killing millions in the end? oh wait we got wwIII coming to ensure it...

HA! do you just look for conspiracy stories and not do a little research of where your food is comin from. conspiracy people are always cryin foul over most everything yet can't see what's goin on right in front of their faces. Trader Joe's and their employees are more knowledgeable about what they have and where it's from than most any costco and especially over ANY walmart slacker. as for organic products...there is no way to tell if you're buyin organic or fake organic unless you have every piece tested no matter if you're buyin one piece or a whole warehouse full. a local area farmer was busted a while back by an old lady that had been buyin organic fruit from a small roadside stand his farm ran for sellin fake organic produce. anyone buyin organic is a sucker and a waste of money unless you personally know the organic farmer growin it.

i've said before on here about my friend's ex girlfriend that was told by her manager at Marlene's "Natural" Foods to go to a local Top Food grocery to buy bananas and then of all things...told her to put organic stickers on them. you guys do know that any tom, dick or harry can buy rolls of those organic stickers. please don't tell me that was some world shakin revelation for you too. this IS a place that boasts about bein natural and organic and should be ashamed at the prices they charge for everything on their shelves. the same regular single banana you buy here is many times 3 and 4 times the cost of Trader Joe's.

DO NOT BUY ORGANIC UNLESS YOU'RE DOING TESTING TO SEE IF IT IS. YOU'RE WASTING YOUR MONEY.

:inIreland:

wow...the ground breakin info just keeps bombarding this thread.

wrong

in 2013, maybe 2012, regulations were passed that allowed the USDA to pull SUSPECTED items...though test results not in....

you could use this reg. to either bankrupt certain types of producers

or

you could use this reg. to confiscate food...tones of food for your underground bunkers...

google USDA recalls and go to the website and read the list...go to the archive...

I have been following this since 2009

when this reg passed the number of 'recalls' SKYROCKETED

it quadrupuled(sic) or more....

we are told that ALL chicken has salmonelia on it, yet it is not confiscated...instructions are given on how to handle it on every package...

why not this with listeria and fruit?
