To be avoided

Everyone and their mother loves Trader Joe's, so it may come as a surprise to learn that they sometimes sell bad food.

They do.

These are both bad:

These whole wheat bagels have a terrible texture. They are indeed crispy(er) on the outside with bready innards, but they are overall too chewy. Even after toasting you'll be reaching for a toothpick. The flavor is reminiscent of cardboard. No likey.

I try to stick with organic dairy, and I don't like "light" things, but this is the only organic cream cheese my TJ's sells. It has no flavor. It's like creamy white nothingness. Nada.

Do not buy these items and expect anyone to actually enjoy eating them.

This has been a public service announcement.
