Get ready to hit the grocery aisles! Trader Joe’s recently announced the winners for the store’s 11th Annual Customer Choice Awards—and these are the product picks shoppers adore.
What’s the number one overall customer favorite? It’s probably no surprise that Everything But the Bagel Sesame Seasoning Blend won top honors. While customers picked the seasoning shaker as the best of the best, they also chose Cauliflower Gnocchi, Mandarin Orange Chicken, Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups and Unexpected Cheddar as the runners-up.
