| Anonymous Coward User ID: 22846834 United States09/01/2012 09:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Just thought I'd see if others are having this problem. For weeks or more my wife has reported finding bugs in nuts, flour, granola bars, etc. This evening she made their pasta and everyone noticed something like crunchy sand in in. Anyone else? Quoting: Customer Review 450353 I stopped buying their ground beef. Almost broke a tooth a few too many times from bone fragments left in the meat. |

| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 450353 United States09/01/2012 09:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | bugs in grain is normal. I had a bag of bread from bottom dollar and there were a lot of bugs after a few days of being out. just think of it as extra protein! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21008556 Thank you. I know it could be worse... And when the power grid goes down we'll be happy with all the protein we can get... |

Everything you buy from jars of peanutbutter to cans of soup is allowed a degree of "other" substances. I was at frys some time ago. I like to buy the sushi sometimes. It's the handmade type that is made inhouse. I got it home and opened it and there within the white stick rice was a black beatle bug. I picked out the bug and ate my sushi. I shop at Trader Joes. They have some of the finest food substances offered. This often comes with more apperent violations that are not as well hidden else where. |

Quoting: Customer Review 450353 Um chances are if you have some bugs that hitchhiked from a dirty store into your pantry, they're gonna get into everything. For real, it's happened to my family. Inventory time. |

Inventory time. We thought about that but then my wife checked food immediately after buying it. The latest thing is the sand in the pasta. I would expect that during WW2 in Russia, and will expect it during WW3...oh, that's it... |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 10548900  Slovenia09/02/2012 02:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | That's a tricky one. Sometimes the produce that attracts bugs/mice/whatnot is apparently the most healthy (untreated). At home, we've had a bunch of home grown and a box of store bought apples in the cellar. Turned out some mice came in. The nice looking store bought apples were left untouched, while ugly spotty wrinkled home grown apples got to be eaten. Made me think. |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 23185768 United States09/04/2012 05:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I made TJ's penne pasta this weekend - a bag I purchased just three days before, and it was very crunchy like eating sand. I inspected a bunch of them after I cooked them and there were no bugs or maggots in the pasta, but rather it was like something like bugs or sand had been ground into the pasta in the processing - every piece was super gritty, which means either a lot of sand or a lot of bugs - we had to throw the whole bag away. It wasn't bugs from our cupboards - it was in the pasta dough- very weird. |

But we ate ours - survived but the crunchinest was strange... |

| KoFFee_ User ID: 1373078 United States09/23/2012 06:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Trader Joe's orders recall of peanut butter The Trader Joe’s grocery chain has voluntarily ordered the recall of its Creamy Salted Valencia Peanut Butter at its stores nationwide because of potential salmonella contamination. “If you purchased this product, please do not eat it,” the Monrovia-based company said in a prepared statement. “We encourage you to return the product to any Trader Joe's for a full refund or dispose of it.” Read more here: [link to www.chicagotribune.com] However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace. Acts 20:24 "This man really is the Savior of the world!" John 4:42 Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him; and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of him. So shall it be! Amen. I am the Alpha and the Omega, " says the Lord God, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty." Revelation 1:7 |

| brandym1020 User ID: 24952834 United States10/04/2012 12:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Just made the crunchiest pound of Trader Joe's pasta ever! My fmaily and I were starving, so we dug right in, then we all started looking at each other, like what the hell? I hope it was sand!! Just like the other poster, it's actually in the pasta, like baked in. What the hell??  |

Quoting: Customer Review 450353 I have had an increasing bug problem IN all food from health food stores and regular stores for two years now. I always immediately put items like grains, dried fruit etc, if not in secure heavy plastic already, into old empty big peanut butter jars and the like, to keep the bugs IN so they don't spread. I just had to roast some pure 100% cornmeal to kill them. |
