Who Really Makes It

Trader Joe’s: who really makes it

Trader Joe's famously doesn't name its suppliers. FDA recall records do: when a Trader Joe's item is recalled, the record names the company that recalled it, and sometimes that company's own brand on the same line. Every entry here links to that record, with its date. A record shows who made or recalled the product then, not who makes it today.
