Chris,
Thank you for your inquiries. We can assure you that we work very
closely with our suppliers and only source products that are ethically
raised and slaughtered exceeding USDA standards and never source from
factory, feedlot farms. Due to our private label agreements we do not
disclose our farms.
At Trader Joe's, we have been dealing with standards and practices in
many different countries for over 49 years, and our buyers are diligent
about making sure our suppliers and the products they provide are not
below standards set by the USDA. In addition, our Quality Assurance
Team and our buyers audit our vendors to monitor their facilities and
practices.
Please know that if we had any reason for concern, we would not continue
to supply that product and/or use that supplier. Nothing is more
important to us than the safety of our customers and crew, and the
quality of our products.
Sincerely,
Amy
Trader Joe's
Customer Relations
