For some of its ethnic cuisine, Trader Joe’s used alternate versions of “Joe”—Trader Giotto’s for Italian items, Trader José for Mexican food and Trader Ming for Chinese cuisine. But a couple-three years ago, some activists complained that this practice was “racist,” and these cute names have almost all been phased out. Now, just about everything is Trader Joe’s.
I went looking for Trader Joe’s Jalapeno Pepper Hot Sauce and was told it has been discontinued.
My go-to for many years. Forum discussions have the same sentiments.
Anyone got a close-tasting substitute?
