Do you still eat Trader Joe's products that are vegan?!
Firstly I hate how Trader Joes has taken all the good brands of food and replaced it with their own brand! Secondly, Vegans / Vegetarians do you eat the Trader Joe's brand that say its vegan but made on the same equipment that processes shelfish!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
No!. I do not!. The idea that traces of shellfish may be in my food is just too gross!. My aunt gave me two jars of jam from Trader Joe's for Christmas and I gave them to my father a few weeks later after she left town!. I appreciated her effort but I still can't stomach that type of potential contamination!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I use to bake bread for Trader Joes in an industrial bakery and with the exception of honey, no animal products were used in the bakery at all!. There is no way they would be making their own bread since the equipment we used cost well over a million dollars, including an oven that was 30' wide and 70' long!. The oven cooked up to 500 loaves of bread at a time!.
What I mostly remember about TJ bread was that it was HEAVY!. We put 10 loaves in each tray and stacked them 14 high, so each stack weighed well over 400 pounds!. If you eat TJ bread anywhere in the North East, the chances are that it's made in Brattleboro VT!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Perhaps instead of dogging a very successful market & productline you might think of buying somewhere else!. Why don't you just buy all the ingredients you need and create your own versions of the dishes you like!. You remind me of the silly people who (do not know how to cook) yet go out to restaurants and complain about how the food is prepared!. Stay home!.!.!.cook for yourself!. Why do so many vegans & vegetarians place their dietary needs, wants & desires in the hands of so many people who are not vegetarians!? I certainly believe that the rest of the world who does consume meat products would not look to vegetarians to provide us with that protein source!. Why not just try to be happy that you are fortunate enough to have food to eat in a world so impoverished that it can't feed itself!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Yes I do!. Even though it's made on the same equipment as shellfish they have to clean down the machines after each type of product, so, those labels are really only for people who are allergic!.
If we avoided all things that were made in the same facility as egg, dairy, shellfish, meat, etc!. we would literally be stuck eating only fruit and veg and rice!.
Trader Joe's is one of the best stores (along with Whole Foods) for vegans to shop at in my area of the USofA!.

I may sound stupid, but if it is processed on the same equipment, but the equipment was cleaned, that makes a product no longer vegan!? How does that work!? I actually love Trader Joe's brands, and would buy them more if we had one closer to us (none in Idaho)!. I think personally if you dislike it that much!.!.!. find a new place to shop, or quite complaining!. Please!.!. your argument makes no sense at all!. BTW how do you know all of their product use the same equipment, you have to have seperate for meats and dairy!. Opps, sorry forgot!. speaking to a vegan!.!.!.but still I dont think you can assume anything, and that my friend is a VER large assumption!.!.!.happy shoppingWww@FoodAQ@Com
I haven't been inside Trader Joes in quite some time!. Ralph's is much closer to my house!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
