Trader's Joe's recalls two cookie brands because they 'may contain rocks'. What we know
We know there are Trader Joe's lover's in Southwest Florida. There wouldn't be two Trader Joe's located in the region if there weren't.
As much as people love the quirky grocery store chain that competes with places like Whole Foods, Fresh Market, Aldi, Sprouts and Publix, there is going to be the occasional food recall that might put loyalties on pause, and maybe even more if it's reported rocks were found in a product.
In case you missed it, Trader Joe's announced on its website on July 21 a recall for Almond Windmill Cookies and Dark Chocolate Chunk and Almond Cookies because of potential "foreign material."
In this case, rocks. Here's the Trader Joe's statement:
