When it comes to the work we do to offer products that fit our customers’ needs, we’re continually evaluating our offerings and adjusting them as warranted by sales and direct customer feedback.

With regard to eggs, we offer a range of choices from both “conventional” and “cage-free” sources. Currently, well over half of the eggs that we sell at Trader Joe’s are from cage-free hens, and as we continue to listen to our customers (and as the supply-side of the egg business evolves to keep pace with a growing cage-free preference), we continue to add cage-free options to our egg section. Like new, grade “A” Pasture Raised Large Brown Eggs, from Carol’s Eggs.

The hens that produce Carol’s Eggs Pasture Raised Eggs are, in fact, raised on dedicated pastureland, where they’re allotted 108 square feet of space each—that’s plenty of room to roam and forage as they please. The pastureland is never treated with herbicides, and the hens are never given hormones or antibiotics.
