Revealing the Reality: Pesticide Residues in ALDI's and Trader Joe's Organic Offerings
Trader Joe's & Aldi's "Pesticide-Free" Offerings - Part 1

Back to Top 

 ...Soylent Green in Trader Joe's artsy-wrappers. The wrappers are deceptive, Aldi's and Trader Joe's are closed-book secretive, but we have Trader Joe's employees'assurances that the food is, err, 'natural'…Trader Joe's and Aldi's sell farmed Salmon. Salmon farming is a  disaster for the environment and human health , and tests show farmed Salmon is about five times more toxic than any other food tested. In animal feeding studies, mice-fed farmed Salmon developed obesity and diabetes—effects researchers believe are related to toxic exposures.*AVOID*Farmed Fish with  Chemical Dioxins, PCBs, and GMOs . 

 Besides pesticides and antibiotics used in fish farming, the most significant source of toxic exposure is the dry pellet feed, which contains dioxins, PCBs, and other toxic pollutants. On average, PCB concentrations in farmed Salmon are eight times higher than in wild Salmon. Farmed Salmon does not have the nutritional profile of wild Salmon, containing more than 5.5 times more omega-6 fat than wild Salmon, which further skews rather than corrects most people's omega-3 to omega-6 ratio. Eating Farmed Salmon, unfortunately, raises your Omega-6 and lowers your Omega-3. Farmed salmon feed pellets(Salmon Food Pellets)often contain Dioxin, PCBs, Dieldrin, Aldrin, Toxophene, Cadmium, and eight other fat-binding toxins.

 BANNED DRUGS FOUND IN YOUR MEAT 

 Four drugs were identified: 

• Chloramphenicol7—Antibiotic-associated with toxic effects in humans, including aplastic anemia(inability to produce new blood cells). 
•  The drug was found in Beef, Chicken, Pork, and Turkey samples. 
• Phenylbutazone—Anti-inflammatory pain reliever that is known to cause aplastic anemia in humans, blood disorders, and cancer. 
• Ketamine—Ketamine is a hallucinogenic anesthetic used experimentally as an antidepressant. 
• Nitroimidazole—An antifungal drug with suspected carcinogenic activity, of 5, 756 beef, pork, and poultry samples, 667 contained the drug.

•  See videos on CAFOs(Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations). The trouble with asking, "Does Trader Joe's sell GMOs?"and then stating, "GMOs are evil, the sky is falling!"is it skips the salient points:  GMOs are not the sole danger;GMO foods are lugubriously Pesticide, full of dangerous(chronic)residues. 
• GMO and Non-GMO factory farm foods, rather than being"all-natural, "are often repeatedly soaked with  isopropylamine salt of Glyphosate , 2, 4-D, 2, 4, 5-TP(aka"Agent Orange, "which breaks down into Dioxin), Diazinon, Carbaryl, etc., etc. Herbicides, Fungicides, Insecticides, Miticides, and Rodenticides are our way of life in America, and we export our poisons Globally. Both Domestic and Imported Foods have pesticide residues. 
• Along with wheat and oats, Glyphosate is used to desiccate a wide range of other food crops, including lentils, peas, non-GMO soybeans, Corn, flax, rye, triticale, buckwheat, millet, canola, Sugar Beets, and potatoes. According to the National Sunflower Association, sunflowers may also be treated pre-harvest with Glyphosate. 
• Trader Joe's staff verbally insinuates that everything in the store"is all-naturally sourced."This ongoing"verbal contract"implies that Trader Joe's stores lack GMOs and pesticide residues. But what are Trader Joe's employees not saying about pesticide residues?  Fetuses, infants, growing children, pregnant and nursing mothers, and women of childbearing age are most at risk for adverse health outcomes from exposure to hidden pesticide residue . 
• Unlike the(erroneous)implication(s)in numerous articles, it is not that you take a bite of GMO/BT Corn and drop dead;instead…you take thousands, millions of bites of pesticide residue Ralcorp/Trader Joe's food and end up with chronic pesticide poisoning health problems. 
• Are R.J. Reynolds, Del Monte, and RalCorp Trader Joe's leading suppliers, or is Trader Joe's simply a trendy defacto subsidiary of R.J. Reynolds, Del Monte, and RalCorp(Conagra owns that last)? 

 Are there other pesticide residues in Trader Joe's foods(Glyphosate, Carbaryl, Acephate, Methyl Parathion, et al.)?  Pesticide residues cause ADD, ADHD, and Autism in children

   Emergency!Pathogen New to Science Found in Roundup Ready GM Food Crops ? 

No chain store sells 100% pesticide-residue-free food, and neither does Trader Joe's. How much Glyphosate (listed as a known carcinogen in California) is in Trader Joe's Alfalfa (Meat), Corn, Soy, Wheat, Oats, Rice, canned and packaged(frozen and boxed/canned)foods, and produce?What other pesticide residues are in Trader Joe's(besides the Glyphosate Joe's O's Cereal and Hummus) food? Who has been doing the 3rd-party testing, and where are the results? Indeed, a thriving concern that claims their products are "all-naturally sourced" has a long history of conducting pesticide-residue/food-safety tests on all their products, so "where's the beef"? 

 It is imperative to understand the difference between  Acute and Chronic Pesticide Poisoning: 

 Example One:A Farm Pest Control Operator loads his spray rig without a respirator and inhales Simazine Dust;he is hurried to an ER with  Acute Poisoning. 

  Example Two: You shop in a"Boutique"factory-farm supermarket and buy lettuce washed and rinsed in water from a  Simazine-Contaminated Water-Well .  You have been buying and eating lettuce containing tiny, microscopic amounts of simazine for years. Your Chronic Pesticide Poisoning bowel cancer develops, and your doctor probably blames"red meat." 

 In both examples, it is not a GMO-gene-splice that gets you;it is a pesticide. In example two above, your boutique's"all-naturally sourced"vendor has a moral and legal obligation to protect you from high levels of pesticides in your food. Since you are paying extra for the food, you deserve to see their pesticide 3rd-party test records from, say, the past ten years  Posted Online … 

 It is also important to realize that GMO and non-GMO products contain pesticide residue. Blog-Commentators asking" if Trader Joe's sells GMOs  and  if Trader Joe's foods contain Pesticide Residues in their articles is inane.  "If"articles are incredibly ill-informed;instead, ask  how many pesticides are in all and how much residue of each Pesticide is there. Anything from overseas probably has high pesticide residues. Produce and grains are also bioaccumulation magnets for sprayed pesticides ending up in our diets...

Since France and Russia banned GMOs(both as food crops and as food imports), incidences of many modern diseases such as diabetes, digestive disorders, inflammatory bowel disease, colitis, autism spectrum disorders(ASD)(ADD), autoimmune diseases, sexual dysfunction, sterility, asthma, COPD and obesity have declined. The biotech/GMO/GE, multinational Transgenic'Food'firms, love the words" substantially equivalent, substantial equivalency , "etc.

   Most Trader Joe's products are very likely to contain Pesticide Residues. A good rule of thumb is Figure 7, which shows that every 10(70%)food at Trader Joe's has measurable pesticide residues. Strawberries test with up to 22 pesticides. Over 98%of strawberries, spinach, grapes, nectarines, peaches, apples, and cherries test positive for at least one pesticide residue. The notion that Trader Joe's is"exempt"is just marketing brainwashed hubris."All-Natural Goodness, "as the Hawaiian Shirts are prone to pontificate, what is the alternative,   mostly unnatural badness? 

  There are two"dirty dozens";one is vegetable varieties, and the other is pesticide types. Two thousand twenty-three dirty dozen pesticide items are Strawberries, Spinach, Kale Collard and Mustard Greens, Peaches, Pears, Nectarines, Apples, Grapes, Bell&Hot Peppers, Grapes, Blueberries and Green Beans top the list as the most polluted with pesticides. The PAN Dirty Dozen Pesticides are 2, 4, 5-T, Aldicarb, Aldrin,   Atrazine ;Chlorobenzilate, Chlordane, Chlordimeform, DBCP, DDT, Dieldrin, EDB, Endrin, Heptachlor, HCH, Lindane, Methyl Parathion, Paraquat, Parathion, Pentachlorophenol, and Toxaphene.  Much more pesticide reading here . The Clean 15 are Avocados, Sweet Corn, Pineapples, Onions, Papaya, Sweet Peas(frozen), Asparagus, Honeydew, Kiwi, Cabbage, Mushrooms, Mangoes, Sweet Potatoes, Watermelon, and Carrots. You avoid a boatload of pesticide residue if you purchase the dirty dozen as organic produce. Making the Clean 15 part of your regular shopping also avoids unhealthy residues. 

 The ubiquitous herbicide  Atrazine  is an Endocrine Disruptor and is linked to reproductive effects, including increased risk of miscarriage, reduced male fertility, low birth weight, increased chances of congenital disabilities, and higher incidence of abdominal defects.  Atrazine  turns male frogs into female frogs, replete with copulating and laying eggs like a female, but this is in genetically male frogs...  Atrazine  is terrible stuff.  Atrazine  exposure has been linked to an elevated risk of breast and prostate cancers. The recent President's Cancer Panel Report notes that  Atrazine  has possible carcinogenic properties. The US EPA is re-evaluating  Atrazine's  carcinogenic potential in response to concerns. Bagged veggies in the cellophane would generally have more pesticide residues, be less fresh, and have fewer vitamins. Those"ready"bagged vegetables are E-Coli O157:H7(Escherichia coli O157:H7)Class-Action Lawsuits waiting to unfold(the cello-wraps are frequent recalls for food diseases). Trader Joe's has a record of E-Coli O157:H7 outbreaks, a virulent, deadly disease.

From Madronna Holden, Trader Joe's heavy-metal(s)tainted'candy':

Despite the best attempts to appear"family, "small, and"organic, "many of the"health food"items in  Trader Joe's are factory/machine produced by  Snyder's-Lance, Pepsi, Tate's Bake Shop, Snack Factory, Tribe Mediterranean Foods, Annie's, Stacey's, Amy's, Tasty Bite, ConAgra, General Mills, and RalCorp.  Keep in mind, Trader Joe's"own-label"products are'knock-offs'from more giant corporations;  you are what you eat!  The hummus brands testing positive for glyphosate residue were Kirkland Signature, Sabra, Cedar's, Balanced,   Trader Joe's, Sadaf and Hope. 

 Some of the produce and processed foods in Trader Joe's contain Isopropylamine Salt of Glyphosate(trade name Roundup), and the wines contain Arsenic. Legally, Trader Joe's is therefore required in California to have a Proposition 65 Warning posted in conspicuous view:  WARNING:This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, congenital disabilities, or other reproductive harm. 

I have never seen such a signage warning in a Trader Joe's in California, but then again, Trader Joe's is about secrecy, hiding their shame. Trader Joe's hypocrisy seems to know no bounds…Trader Joe's pretends to be"green"to be"bastions of environmental stewardship."So why are their processed foods filled with(collectively)tons of Palm Oil?See the video documentary Greasy Palms and ask yourself why Trader Joe's would be secretive about its palm oil. In the video, pay attention to all the content about pesticides and who is doing the pesticide work. Trader Joe's"Gyoza"Dough:Unbleached Wheat Flour, Tapioca Starch, Water,   Palm Oil …Trader Joe's cookies, known as"Joe Joe's":Sugar, Unbleached Enriched Wheat Flour,   Palm Oil … 

 Many of Trader Joe's"Vegan"products contain Palm Oil, which is technically  not Vegan Palm Oil . Trader Joe's and Aldi's are secretive, evasive, and mute on their source for"Vegan"  Palm Oil . Palm Oil is  bad for forests and wrong for your liver .

You must see the Palm Oil video documentary. One of the women in the video describes being a pesticide slave worker with no formal training. It is entirely likely she suffers bouts of mild to moderate acute poisoning and ongoing chronic poisoning. Think of no clear goggles, rubber gloves, rubber boots, respirator mask(no NIOSH respirator cartridges), and chemical-resistant Tyvek jumpsuit. Even the milder"Caution"pesticides can be fatal if she sleeps in contaminated clothes and works in the same unwashed clothes while spraying seven days a week. This scenario occurs in the Third World(and the US);it is also likely that she uses pesticides from the  Pan Dirty-Dozen Pesticide List .

From"http://www.worldstopexports.com/palm-oil-exports-by-country/": 

1. Indonesia:US$14.4 billion(51.7%of total palm oil exports)

2. Malaysia:$9.1 billion(32.6%)

3. Netherlands:$1.1 billion(3.9%)

4. Papua New Guinea:$386.2 million(1.4%)

5. Guatemala:$376.2 million(1.4%)

6. Germany:$357.6 million(1.3%)

7. Honduras:$270.2 million(1%)

8. Colombia:$245.5 million(0.9%)

9. Ecuador:$228.2 million(0.8%)

12. Denmark:$99.5 million(0.4%)

13. Italy:$98.8 million(0.4%)

14. United Arab Emirates:$90.4 million(0.3%)

15. United States:$85.2 million(0.3%)

The short, 18-minute video heregives you an idea of the environmental and civil rights of indigenous peoples'havoc wreaked by Palm Oil. But Trader Joe's is so proud of their Palm Oil suppliers that they shroud them in a sea of mystery. Are there pesticide residues in Trader Joe's products containing palm oil? 

  The Oil Palm videoalso outlines the social injustice(Conflict), lawlessness, and ill-health of those robbed of their lands and forced into slave conditions growing"Sustainable Palm-Oil."Victims Nations include Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Guatemala, Honduras, Colombia, Ecuador, Niger, and Costa Rica. The slave workers are forced to use the herbicide Paraquat;Paraquat is one of the most poisonous, destructive ag chemicals ever developed. Does Trader Joe's even bother to do a 3rd-party test for Paraquat in its"Sustainable Palm Oil"(there is probably no such thing now)?Paraquat Cl's LD50:  The oral LD50 of Paraquat is 196 mg/kg in mice, 50 mg/kg in monkeys, and 48 mg/kg in cats. Extremely toxic. 

 Read about the"Dirty Dozen Pesticides"(not vegetables, but the chemicals:2, 4, 5-Trichlorophenoxyacetic acid, Methyl Parathion, et al.);the  Pan Dirty-Dozen Pesticide List . The sky has fallen since World War II and Vietnam;Dow, Dupont, and  Monsanto . Read Johnny O'Donnell's(Playboy)Agent Orange/Agent Blue article;you did not just invent the wheel, Vani. You could make it a Baker's dozen if you  Yandexed, "DOW Enlist Duo®."  Look it up in the English version of Metager. Your articles are a disservice, in the sense you are not writing about  Aldicarb(Temik)Melons in 1985 California , but you carry on like you are…It is most apparent you have never attended a Pesticide class or course or read many MSDSs. 

 The public can exercise your Free Speech with your purses and wallets. Look at the labels in Trader Joe's;when you see"Palm Oil, "read it as"Conflict/Pesticide Palm Oil."Please watch the two videos, and you will understand why Joe is so silent and secretive... Conflict/Pesticide Palm Oil is found in the Cookies/Candy aisle, boxed foods, bagged foods, and microwavable entree sections of Trader Joe's"health boutique."Conflict/Pesticide Palm Oil is an ingredient in Joe's soaps and cosmetic products. Palm Oil is an obesity/diabetes food(Saturated Fat, empty non-vitamin"food, "raises body fat, raises lousy cholesterol but provides no vitamins). You may frequently find Palm Oil in Instant Pastas, Noodles, Pizzas, Bread, Margarines, Crisps, Crackers, Cookies, Vegan-Cheeses, Ice Cream, Microwaveable Popcorn, Frozen Entrees, Soaps, and Cosmetics. 

More IMF Business Model Conflict Palm Oil:Land Robbery, Clear-Cut Logging, Burn, Plant African Oil Palms(Bad Cholesterol, Bad Fat). Force Workers to abuse pesticides with no worker safety clothing and no respirators. Kill off wildlife and fish, and keep robbing more land until indigenous people are forced to buy food at the company store…

Third World Pesticide Workers spray food and feed with either'improvised'(raincoats)or no protective gear. Apologists call their pesticide abuse" harmless pesticide residue ."Those without protective gear are shortening their lives;where is the"harmlessness"?In 1977, pesticide proponents boosted  Monsanto  Roundup® as "nearly harmless," and "low-toxicity, "and "biodegradable." It took 40 years for the public to learn that Roundup® (Isopropylamine Salt of Glyphosate) has persistent, troublesome residue linked to cancer. California and the World Health Organization list Glyphosate as a known carcinogen, after nearly 40 years of boosterism, as "harmless."   The more careless the Pesticide Workers (no protective gear, none whatsoever), the more likely the mixer/loader doubled, tripled, etc., the Pesticide to Water Ratio…This practice results in excessive food pesticide residues (often, there is more than one Pesticide in the mixture). If the fungicides and insecticides are doubled, there is an adverse cubed toxicity effect on human health. Who are Trader Joe's 3rd Party Pesticide Residue Testers?

 Somehow, Trader Joe's Hawaiian Shirts and food bloggers have started an urban Internet"myth"that all Trader Joe's "brand-name" products are "Organic"and therefore "Pesticide-Free". 

 Together, certified organic food cropland and pasture accounted for about 0.6 percent of the US total farmland in 2011. Only a tiny percentage of the top US field crops—Corn(0.3 percent), soybeans(0.2 percent), and wheat(0.6 percent)—were grown under certified organic farming systems as of Sept 22, 2016~source:ers.usda.gov. In 2011, the USDA conducted a series of Glyphosate tests on 300  soybean samples, finding that 271 contained Glyphosate residues . Remember, California and the World Health Organization list the Isopropylamine Salt of Glyphosate as a known carcinogen. Trader Joe's own-label products are  a total of Soy . Women are at an increased risk from the many hormone-disrupting substances found in  soy phytosterols . Soy is also not  doing men any favors . The trouble is Genistein and Daidzein. The Soy farmers dispute all the harmful aspects of Roundup Ready Soy. 

 So, if 0.6%of all US food crops(and that 0.6%being largely Corn,   soybeans , and wheat), then that would leave a remainder(99.4%)of all crops in the US as Non-Organic(potential or probable GMO and Pesticide-Crops). If 99.4%of US food crops are Non-Organic and have Pesticide Residues, where is Trader Joe's buying all of"his"verbal-contract"Non-GMO, Non-Pesticide"products from?But is it"all-natural"?One of Joe's Managers said, "All of our name-brand products are  All-Naturally-Sourced."Meaningless, brainwashed hubris. Food and products that contain or often contain  Soy : 

• Bean sprouts.
• Bread crumbs, cereals, and crackers.
• Breaded foods.
• Hydrolyzed plant protein(HPP), hydrolyzed soy protein(HSP), and hydrolyzed vegetable protein(HVP)
• Imitation dairy food.
• Tofu and Soy Ice Creams.
• Infant formula, follow-up formula, and nutrition supplements for toddlers and children.

To(partially)understand  Soy  (and extrapolate on other factory-farmed foods), watch the video:The World according to Monsanto is a video best watched multiple times;said video closely examines how  Soy  (and other crops)are'farmed.' 

 From draxe.com:Avoid Soy. We've all come to think of Soy as a healthy alternative for protein and calcium. In fact, as a subsidized crop, Soy has become so prevalent in so many foods that allergies are on the rise. It hides on labels as hydrolyzed vegetable protein, lecithin, starch, and vegetable oil. Soy is a source of phytoestrogens(Genistein and Daidzein). Because we are exposed to it so much in our foods(and health and beauty products), it's becoming an endocrine disruptor(fermented Soy is less detrimental with more nutrients). 

 Food labeled"Natural, "according to the USDA definition, does not contain artificial ingredients or preservatives and with ingredients minimally processed. However, they may  contain antibiotics, growth hormones, and other chemicals. Regulations are relatively lenient for foods labeled"natural."Trader Joe's employees verbally said their private-label foods are"all-naturally sourced."This ambiguous response to a direct question(are the foods GMO, and do they have pesticide residues)is, presently, Trader Joe's only stonewalled response. They verbally implied that Trader Joe's has a"monopoly"on the USA's 0.6%non-GMO, Non-Pesticide crops grown. Some of the main"ingredients"of our human diet impacted by pesticides are Corn, Cotton, Barley, Wheat, Soybeans, Sorghum, Oats, Peanuts, Potatoes, Beets, Tobacco, Sunflowers, Rice, and Forages(Alfalfa). We are  bio-accumulators . No washing method is 100%effective for removing all pesticide residues. Many pesticides(Glyphosate and 2, 4-D, to name two)are  systemic and absorbed into plants. Fruit and vegetables have pores-dish soap or bleach can get trapped or absorbed by the pores, making it difficult to rinse off the fruit once they have been applied.

Celiac disease, and, more generally, gluten intolerance, is a growing problem worldwide, but especially in North America and Europe, where an estimated 5%of the population now suffers from it. Symptoms include nausea, diarrhea, skin rashes, macrocytic anemia, and depression. It is a multifactorial disease associated with numerous nutritional deficiencies as well as reproductive issues and an increased risk of thyroid disease, kidney failure, and cancer. Here, we propose that Glyphosate, the active ingredient in the herbicide Roundup®, is the most important causal factor in this epidemic. Fish exposed to Glyphosate develop digestive problems that are reminiscent of celiac disease. Celiac disease is associated with imbalances in gut bacteria that the known effects of Glyphosate on gut bacteria can fully explain. Characteristics of celiac disease point to impairment in many cytochrome P450 enzymes, which are involved with detoxifying environmental toxins, activating vitamin D3, catabolizing vitamin A, and maintaining bile acid production and sulfate supplies to the gut. Glyphosate is known to inhibit cytochrome P450 enzymes. Deficiencies in iron, cobalt, molybdenum, copper, and other rare metals associated with Celiac Disease can be consistent with Glyphosate's strong ability to chelate these elements. 

 Deficiencies in tryptophan, tyrosine, methionine, and selenomethionine associated with celiac disease match glyphosate's known depletion of these amino acids in a smoking Glyphosate gun. Celiac disease patients have an increased risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which has also been implicated in glyphosate exposure. Reproductive issues associated with celiac disease, infertility, miscarriages, and congenital disabilities can also be explained by Glyphosate. Glyphosate residues in wheat and other crops have likely been increasing recently due to the growing practice of crop desiccation before harvest. We argue that the practice of"ripening"sugar cane with Glyphosate may explain the recent surge in kidney failure among agricultural workers in Central America. We conclude with a plea to governments to reconsider policies regarding the safety of glyphosate residues in foods. 

 High probability of Glyphosate residue in food;, examples Chips Grapes Wine, and Grape Juice, Beer, Milk, Bread, Dried Pasta, Lentils, White Beans, Soy Beans, Corn, Wheat and Barley, Potatoes, Avocados, Honey, and Corn Syrup, Tofu, Soy Sauce, Tea Leaves, Gelatin, Ground Oats, Pureed Baby Food and Cereal.

Most commonly store-purchased GMO Foods or Food Additives:

1. Soy

Up to 90%of Soybeans in the market continue to be genetically modified to be'naturally'resistant to a herbicide called Roundup. This increased resistance to Glyphosate allows farmers to use more Roundup to kill weeds—genetic engineering results in a genetically modified'food'product containing health-threatening chemical residues.

2. Corn

Half of the US farms growing Corn to sell to the conglomerate  Monsanto  are growing GMO corn. Most of this corn GMO is for human consumption. Genetically modified Corn has been linked to research on health problems, including weight gain and organ disruption.

3. Canola Oil

Canola Oil is made from rapeseed oil. It is considered one of the most chemically altered oils sold in the US.

4. Cotton(Fabric, Cotton Seed Oil)

Even Cotton is genetically modified to increase yield and resistance to diseases. The most concern relates to Cotton Oil. Cottonseed Oli originating from India and China, in particular, is considered a higher risk for personal health due to Pesticide Residue.

5. Milk

One-fifth of the dairy cows in the United States have tested positive for growth hormones to help them grow faster and increase their yield. These BGH hormones are in the milk produced by BGH cows. Research shows these growth hormones act inside the human body. Most people consider yogurt a"healthy choice."This is the label from Trader Joe's Lemon Yogurt:Grade A pasteurized and cultured low-fat milk, sugar, and corn sweeteners, lemon juice concentrate, lemon zest, modified corn starch, whey protein concentrate(milk), gelatin, natural flavor, cellulose gum, turmeric(color), live active cultures:streptococcus thermophilus, lactobacillus delbrueckii bulgaricus. Made on shared equipment with soy. Let's question the"health"of our"choice."Is the milk rBST rBGH milk?Is the sugar from Sugar Cane sprayed with the ubiquitous weedkiller, Atrazine?Are the corn sweeteners GMO/glyphosate(roundup ready)high-fructose corn syrup?Is the Corn Starch(filler)GMO/Glyphosate Corn?Is the Gelatin from Pig Carcasses?What is in the"Natural Flavor, "and why isn't it written in plain English? 

6. Sugar

Genetically Modified Sugar Beets were introduced to the US market in 2009. These Sugar Beets are modified to resist Roundup, like Corn. Sugar Cane crops are sprayed with the weedkiller Atrazine, a potent human endocrine disrupter. Much of the Cane Sugar in the U.S. contains Atrazine residue.

7. Aspartame

I agree that there are concerns about the safety of Aspartame in the body, including its potential link to certain cancers. It's interesting to note that Aspartame is an artificial sweetener many people use as a sugar substitute. Did you know that it's manufactured from genetically modified bacteria?

8. Zucchini

Genetically modified Zucchini contains a toxic protein that helps make it more insect-resistant. Recently, Pregnant Women and Fetuses tested positive for the pesticide Bt. This research indicates that some insecticides are making their way into our bodies rather than being broken down and excreted.

9. Yellow Squash

Yellow Squash has also been modified with toxic proteins to make it insect-resistant. This plant resembles Zucchini;both have also been GMO'd to resist viruses.

10. Papaya

Genetically Modified Papaya Trees have been grown in Hawaii since 1999. These GMO Papayas are sold in the United States and Canada for human consumption. These Papayas were modified to be'naturally resistant'to the Papaya Ringspot Virus and to delay the fruit's maturity. Delaying maturity gives suppliers more time to ship the fruit to supermarkets. 

 In the European Union, a European Commission rule allowed countries to opt out of growing genetically modified crops. According to the Commission’s website, nineteen of the 27 member state countries of the EU have voted to either partially or fully ban GMOs. The Commission reports that“several countries such as France, Germany, Austria, Greece, Hungary, the Netherlands, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Bulgaria, Poland, Denmark, Malta, Slovenia, Italy and Croatia have chosen a total ban. Wallonia, the French-speaking region of Belgium, has opted out, as well as Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.”

 De Cecco, Goya or Barilla Pasta are so much better than Trader Joe's insipid Rice or Whole Wheat Pasta. We bought some of"Trader Joe's brand"of Pasta(Fusilli and Farafel). Their brand of Pasta ruined our meal-like eating raw dough sawdust. The flavor and texture turned a delicious sauce and aged Parmesan into inedible mush. De Cecco, Goya, or Barilla Pastas taste good and have a nice texture. June 13, 2020, is our last time buying noodles or Pasta from Traitor Joe's. We had the same thing happen before and thought it was a one-off. Tonight's Trader Joe's Fusilli was disgusting. It tasted like it had been stored in a Missile Silo for 50 years before us cooking it. It has an appalling texture and a disgusting taste. Post-COVID-19, we have left Trader Joe's for  CSA's(Community Supported Agriculture) .

 Imperfect Food is one of many CSAs;so far, we like the freshness of the food and seeing the source on the online order form. For us, the Pandemic brought better, healthier(CSA)food into our lives, and we lost weight during the lockdown. The name Imperfect Food is a little off-putting. 2 lb of Brown Rice, the rice kernels are chipped, so it cooks faster-that is the Imperfection, but it is still whole grain Brown Rice. It costs much less than Trader Joe's and is much fresher. Imperfect Food charges per item you order at the time it ships;larger orders ship for free. 

  Community Supported Agriculture(CSA)  is a production and marketing model where consumers either buy shares of a farm's harvest in advance or buy deliverables, paying per item ordered. Consumers become CSA members by paying an agreed amount at the beginning of the growing season, either in one lump sum or installments. You can also sign up for a weekly shipped box with a large Ice Pack, everything from Dairy, Meat, Seafood, Fruits, Nuts, and Vegetables. You pay for what is in the box, often at a huge savings, i.e., Leaf lettuce for 69¢instead of Trader Joe's$1.69. CSAs are not plowing crops into the ground;instead, they are hiring and expanding. A delivered box or two(for instance,   Imperfect Foods )is safer than entering Trader Joe's in person.  Having two boxes of farmer-to-family food  shipped to your home is safer and costs less for fresher, tastier, and less expensive food.

 Some  CSAs  give you a report such as 91 pounds of food that could have been wasted being shipped to you so far. Three thousand six hundred forty gallons of fresh water was not wasted(by factory-farmed"farmers"and warehouses). You prevented 310 pounds of CO2 from being emitted(so far). 

 You may wonder  if Imperfect Food delivers to my area.  If not,   this USDA page will find CSAs in your area . 

 Tea, Coffee, Cacao, Bananas,   soy , Corn, Palm Oil, Wheat, Barley, and Rice are common Conflict Farming Crops. Trader Joe's and Aldi's claim(paraphrased)is that we know this ethical guy;he is not a conflict farmer. We cannot tell you his name;it is a secret, but he is wonderfully not a conflict farmer-we need to keep him secret. Either you are proud of your suppliers or ashamed of them. Which is it?Trader Joe's Suppliers, RJ Reynolds, Dole, Russ Davis, Mann Packing, Caito Foods, etc., don't supply."Ma and Pa Stores." 

 Super King markets had a sale on whole roasted or raw Cashews(September 29 2021). The Cashews are large, plump, and very fresh tasting. Each Cashew is 2x-3x larger than Trader Joe's"Halves and Pieces."The Super King Cashews are very delicious and cost half($4.99 per lb.)the price of Trader Joe's slightly stale Cashews. The Latin Food in Super King is real Latin Food, not contrived"Señor Joe's"food. The same is valid with Super King's Middle Eastern food;one example is a vast, whopping tray of fresh Hummus, sold by the pound, so you can order 1-2 pounds rather than buying a 7 oz package from a factory. Super King and Imperfectfood.com are how we boycott Trader Joe's(and Vons, Pavillions, Albertsons, and Safeway). 

 From Wikipedia: 

Theodor Paul"Theo"Albrecht(March 28 1922–July 24 2010)was a German entrepreneur who 2010 was ranked by Forbes as the 31st richest person in the world, with a net worth of$16.7 billion. He owned and was the CEO of the Aldi Nord discount supermarket chain. He owned the Trader Joe's specialty grocery store chain in the US. His brother Karl Albrecht owned the Aldi Süd discount supermarket chain. The two chains were originally a single-family enterprise until a friendly division of assets in 1960. Aldi Süd operates the Aldi groceries in the United States. While owned by the brothers, Aldi and Trader Joe's have separate and distinct ownership and operations. 

 Aldi(stylized as ALDI)is the brand of two discount supermarket chains with over 10, 000 stores in 20 countries and an estimated combined turnover of more than€50 billion. The chain was founded in Germany by brothers Karl and Theo Albrecht in 1946 when they took over their mother's store in Essen, which had been in operation since 1913. The business was split into two separate groups in 1960, which later became Aldi Nord, headquartered in Essen, and Aldi Süd, headquartered in Mülheim. In 1962, they introduced the name Aldi(a syllabic abbreviation for Albrecht Diskont), pronounced[ˈaldiː]. In Germany, Aldi Nord and Aldi Süd have been financially and legally separate since 1966;both divisions appear as if they were a single enterprise)with certain store brands or when negotiating with contractor companies. The formal business name is Aldi Einkauf GmbH&Compagnie, oHG. 

 Aldi's German operations consist of Aldi Nord's 35 individual regional companies with about 2, 500 stores in western, northern, and Eastern Germany and Aldi Süd's 32 regional companies with 1, 600 stores in western and southern Germany. Internationally, Aldi Nord operates in Denmark, France, the Benelux countries, Portugal, Spain, and Poland. In contrast, Aldi Süd operates in Ireland, Great Britain, Hungary, Switzerland, Australia, China, Italy, Austria, and Slovenia(Aldi Süd operates as Hofer within the latter two countries). Aldi Nord and Aldi Süd also operate in the United States, with 1, 600 stores as of 2017. Some call TJ's/Aldi's"El Pulpo"(The Octopus). Much of the public does not see how brain-washy El Pulpo is in its mass consumer marketing, 4, 600 stores that draw in chalk(like an Ozark Ma and Pa one-of-a-kind establishment). El Pulpo. 

 There are a plethora of Internet Shills, Trolls, and GMO Apologists pushing hard on the Pesticide Manufacturer's Franken Food. They use the words  "GMO"and"Safe"  frequently. What could go wrong with fledgling, untested  Transgenic Science?  The public has started to accept food that is not food, "safety"that is not safe. It is the new"normal.""plant-based"refers to concoctions of largely GMO and certain Lead, Pesticide, and Mercury candidates. Tech will fix this;science will fix that. How many steps in a factory did your new"plant-based"food go through?Months ago, it was a fresh plant in a field;then, it went through a factory replete with GMO Soy and Glyphosate residue. Then, from freezer to grill  and then into your gut . 

July 14, 2020, from ewg.org,   subject Roundup in Trader Joe's Hummus :

<paste>

Hummus, chickpeas, and  other beans offer multiple nutritional benefits, and Americans should not stop eating them. Our findings show the need not only for a ban on all pre-harvest uses of Glyphosate but also for a much stricter EPA standard and increased testing by the Food and Drug Administration to determine how widely Glyphosate contaminates our food.

Glyphosate is the herbicide sold for decades by Monsanto, now Bayer, under the brand name Roundup. It is classified by the  International Agency for Research on Cancer , or IARC, as a probable human carcinogen and by the  State of California  as a chemical known to cause cancer.

Roundup is the most widely used herbicide in the U.S., sprayed on different crops and during different parts of the growing season. For consumers, the most problematic is the spraying of Glyphosate, shortly before harvest, on many beans and grains as a drying agent.  Previous tests by EWG  and other public interest groups have found Glyphosate in popular breakfast cereals and other foods American adults and children love to eat.

All samples were purchased by EWG researchers online or at major food retailers in the Washington, D.C., New York City, and San Francisco metropolitan areas, including Aldi, Costco, Giant, Harris Teeter, Safeway, ShopRite, Target, # #Trader Joe ##,   Walmart and Whole Foods grocery stores. Ewg.org Laboratories conducted tests.
