How to read this page

Each product says how we know it is at Trader Joe's. Trader Joe's brand means it is the store's own label. Spotted at Trader Joe's by shoppers means someone using Open Food Facts reported it there. Trader Joe's sells this brand means shoppers reported other products from the same brand at Trader Joe's, so the flavor or size may not be on the shelf.

Seed oils are read from the ingredient list: canola, soybean, sunflower, safflower, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, rice bran and peanut oil, plain vegetable oil, shortening and margarine. PUFA is the polyunsaturated fat in one serving, and numbers we worked out from the fats in the ingredient list instead of a printed label are marked est. Recipes change, so check the label before you buy.
