cheap chicken breasts from TJ

[Anonymous]

I continue to wonder where the Trader Joe’s Organic Chicken Breasts are from. I don't believe that this is organic meat for this little price, 6.99/lb. Internet search does not reveal anything, does anyone know where the farms are, any reviews? Thanks

You can find where it was “processed” with pro publica’s chicken checker

Here’s an article they wrote based on some of the info they gathered— think it mentions TJs— so consider also giving them the data (or even donating to them, at this point they are my favorite media outlet)

TJS is less expensive because the vast majority of their food is private label - not the big brands. IDK how they price the chicken specifically.

given how fast their produce goes bad, i have always been a little leary of TJs raw meat.

You can get chicken thighs from the farmers market for $7.50/lb which is lower than a lot of grocery stores organic chicken

Trader Joe's in an outlet store. They sell the things that are slightly incorrect. Not sure how that applies to chicken but I've gotten chicken tenders from TJ's that had a lot of tiny scraps in it. Not the end of the world and worth the price tho.

Things can be organic and of bad quality and not tasty.

I reguarrly can find organic chicken breasts at that price on sale at Safeway or Whole Foods. You just have to be a good shopper.
