FYI, also I changed the thread title so others can be added without starting a new discussion.

  • I think it was specifically cucumbers from Mexico so I thought I'd just stay away from buying those for a while. Trader Joes lists where the produce comes from on their packages, so that's a great place to buy from if you have one close.

    Yep, you are correct. Just from Mexico. I wish we had a Trader Joes close. The closest one to us is about 2.5 hours away.

  • If you look at the small labels on produce in the grocery stores (with like a 4 or 5 digit code on it) most of them actually list where the produce comes from in tiny letters.

    That stinks, TJ's is awesome! We finally moved to a town that has a couple, and Whole Foods. I was so excited haha. Now I just go broke faster when grocery shopping.

    Haha that's how I imagine it would be if we had one close. We don't even have a whole foods. There is a local food coop that I imagine is similar but it's soooo expensive. Like 3x that of our local regular grocery store.

  • If you have farmers markets you could try there for your produce instead of the store- everything from a market has to be locally grown. At least those are the rules here
  • Farmers markets are what I'm lacking here in AZ- there are a few, but not much produce besides peppers. I really miss that about California- always had amazing ones!!

  • We have our own garden in the summer time so I haven't bought veggies for the past 3 months or so which has been awesome. I hate it when I have to start buying store vegetables again. They just don't taste the same.

  • Kroger have us a notification on our receipt yesterday that we bought some of the listeria cheese. Luckily I didn't eat much of it and will be returning it for a refund today!

    That's a good idea to put it on the receipt! I've heard that there's been quite a bit more cucumbers recalled again now too.
