Louisiana has two Trader Joe's locations, one in Baton Rouge, and another in Metairie off of Veterans. The state of Texas puts Louisiana to shame with 20 stores total. The recall issued by the FDA will effect these stores along with 16 other states.
Trader Joe's remains committed to its traditional approach of having crew members working at the registers interacting with their customers.
