Are you filing a complaint with Trader Joe’s?

P.S.

If you have decided to support our work (helping us to help others) by filing a complaint with Trader Joe’s regarding the Cadmium level in their Organic Fair Trade Cacao Powder I wanted to let you know that we added some information to the article.

A community member let us know that for the Trader Joe’s complaint form (using the link we included in our original article) you need the product specific codes. The image with this post includes both of the relevant codes – the product bar code ad the batch related code for the specific batch we tested and reported on. We have also added this image to the original article (in case you would like to share it with others who are not on Patreon).

Thank you for joining us in reporting this product and helping to effect change!

Here’s the link to the article in case you missed it earlier:

And here’s the link to our Patreon membership page if you have the resources to increase your support by $1.00 or $2.00 a month. Thank you so much for considering doing so — it makes a big difference!
