Trader Joe’s issued three voluntary recalls this week with warnings that certain products “may contain rocks” or “may contain insects.” The California-based grocery chain recalled two types of cookies, a soup and premade falafel. All of the affected products were removed from shelves and destroyed, Trader Joe’s said in a statement, urging customers to either discard the recalled items or return them for a refund. The company said in an emailed statement that its vendors had alerted it to the potential contaminants but did not immediately respond to questions about how rocks or insects could have gotten into the products. “We will never leave to chance the safety of the products we offer,” the statement said. “In each of these cases, there was an issue in the manufacturing processes in the facilities. We pulled the product from our shelves as soon as we were made aware of the issue.”
