Country of Origin. That's pretty important to know…for sure.

But you have to read the entire article:

http://www.medicaldaily.com/are-trader-joes-products-safe-why-neighborhood-store-refuses-share-its-...

“I asked Trader Joe’s if they would send me an affidavit showing proof of non-GMO corn or soy in at least one of their products that wasn’t labeled certified organic and they refused saying, ‘Unfortunately we don’t share those documents, they are confidential,’” she wrote in the post, entitled "What Is Trader Joe’s Hiding?"

“They wouldn’t even tell me what country some of the products were produced in either as they do not provide ‘country of origin’ labeling.”

Re: Good Article by Medical Daily re: Trader Joe's

An article from a pseudoscientific site quoting a crackpot and utilizing speculation and innuendo to push an agenda. I am not impressed.

TJ's does keep its suppliers secret in order to reduce costs, but the products are available in any of their stores. Why not test the product to prove it has GMOs if there is such a concern? Oh wait -- I know -- they cannot do it because the GMO hysteria is nothing but a fraud and myth perpetuated by people with little-to-no scientific knowledge.

LOL! Oh thank you for that.

If you shop there, then I suppose you've admirably represented such affects.
