Pre-Cooked Chicken Strips
If were being honest, is pre-cooked chicken everthatgood?
You will have to cook it, but at least its already seasoned!
Ranch Dressing
Since were being candid, condiments are definitely not TJ’s strong suit.

Maybe its because there are so many classic condiment brands that weve already grown to love.
You could always grab a container of the dairy-free version, or even make your own at home.
Mayonnaise
Yet another condiment that seems not to be worth the squeeze.
Trader Joe’s
The biggest complaint about TJ’smayonnaiseis that it tastes vastly different than the typical white sandwich spread.
The biggest problem with these convenient items is that they are usually soggy and messy to eat.
Theyre also not loaded with flavorful ingredients, so it certainly wont be the best meal youve ever had.

The flavor is bland, and they dont have the same crunch as other grain cereals.
Cauliflower Pizza Crust
Thecauliflowertrend isnt going anywhere anytime soon, butthis pizza crusthas many flaws.
Sure, you could bake it on abaking sheetinstead, but it still wont have that same crisp factor.

While the Soyaki has flavor, a big part of that flavor is just salt.
As one Reddit user put it: Their produce is poor quality and rots quickly.
Still,someof the produceis worth checking out.

Were fond of the seasonal Sumo citrus fruits and the Teeny Tiny Avocados.
As one user pointed out, shoppers should steer clear of anybagged saladthats made with the spring mix.
They are always floppy, slimy and the leaves start to break down, the shopper explained.
Trader Joe’s
I would love to eat them, but I find myself picking out bad leaves constantly.
While some pickle-forward products were a triumph, like theChips in a Pickle, others were definitely a miss.
As one TJs shopper and Reddit user put it: These pickle peanuts taste like straight up bleach."

The pre-packaged California roll has been particularly maligned by customers, as one Reddit user called it just terrible.
