Episode 28: Trader Joe's Takes You Inside The Tasting Panel Today

Even in these times of constant change, there's one thing that's remained constant, and that's our commitment to innovating and developing new products to bring to our stores. We've made some adjustments to the way our Tasting Panel meets – who knew video conference tasting could be a thing? – but the basic function of the panel remains the same today as it's ever been… making sure we're bringing you delicious tastes from around the globe, and offering them at great values, every day.
