No, the food stuff is first quality. They have signs explaining it (and you can read more on the TJ Maxx website).
For me, it's a way to try new things that look interesting for a bit less. I usually end up buying it from Amazon or directly from their website if it's good.
They also have the gourmet nut brand QVC sells (name escapes me now).
