New Vendor Requirements
Thank you for your interest in becoming a Trader Joe’s Vendor. We are always excited to hear
from potential partners. Before you contact us, we’d like to clarify some important basic requirements:

We are keenly focused on providing products that offer real value – great quality at a great price.

We will only deal directly with manufacturers or growers, rather than purchasing through brokers,
distributors, sales agents or other middlemen.

We do not buy recipes or product concepts.

We are interested in bringing in products under our own label – the Trader Joe's brand.

Trader Joe’s brand products contain NO synthetic colors, artificial flavors,
artificial preservatives, MSG, added trans fats,
dairy ingredients from rBST sources or genetically modified ingredients.

We buy only products that are produced in FDA or USDA licensed and approved
commercial manufacturing facilities that possess a variety of food safety certifications,
including GMP and HACCP.

All vendors must be prepared to provide nutritional analysis for the products they produce
via a Third Party Laboratory Analysis (AOAC method only) or a
Computerized Recipe Analysis, if performed by a qualified professional provider trained
in nutrition and/or food science, using a USDA standardized nutrient analysis software database
current within two years.

All Vendors must be prepared to provide a validated third party lab shelf life data analysis.

All vendors must be prepared to provide product liability insurance.

(To be considered, you must complete the New Vendor Interest Form.
We do not accept unsolicited requests or materials dropped off at our offices.)
