Trader Joe is the same family as the owner of Aldi's. I have returned 2 veggies weeks ago and they were very nice about it. Food for thought.

It appears to be cyclospora contaminating the Romaine lettuce from Fresh Express. Both my daughter and I have had intestinal issues with prepared salads from Trader Joe's in the past so I rarely purchase them anymore. However I still buy the wraps, potato salad, tamales and burritos and have had no problem with them.

Don't get me wrong. I do want to thank manabouttown for sharing. It would be nice to have an automatic feed that notifies villagers. It's probably in place and I just don't know it like most things.
