@shoesnbags I love figs and grew up eating them too. I looked into planting a fig tree in my back yard and learned way too much about them. I was better off not knowing.

LOL I think you're saying that I might be better off not knowing, too. Don't worry, no fresh figs in my current life. Just great memories of my grandmother's fig ice cream.

I read once that if you put a head of broccoli in a bowl under water, stand there a minute and you'll see tiny white worms crawl out. Well, I eat mainly organic so it might not be a true test but I didn't see any worms. You know what they say: "worms don't eat much." And at least they're dead after we cook it, lol. How reassuring.

Trader Joe's is famous for outdated products. (at least here) I always check the dates on their bagged veggies, etc.

I don't think there are any TJ's around here, but I'm bet they aren't alone in that. Does seem as if they are having a lot of recalls lately. I'm sure if we knew the half of what's in our foods we'd be cringing.

I have not seen this or the two cookie recalls show up on the FDA's website. This is unusual. I'm concerned that, as far as I know, they are not working with the FDA for these recalls.

@Judaline I'm here to tell you from experience that whole broccoli under water deal is far from foolproof.

@Mindy D Not everyone checks the FDA listings anyway. Most folks are not food investgators.

Trader Joe's clearly lists recalled products at each register with a picture and a description of the problem. Sometimes it is regarding an unlisted ingredient and sometimes a more serious problem which can affect health.

I was at TJ's this morning; the cookies and the soup are clearly visible and the frozen fruit is still listed.

As far as how any store works with the FDA-the website has several articles.

I'm sure TJs is not trying to hide anything.
