Trader Joe's 14th Annual Customer Choice Awards is underway! This year, things have changed just a little bit! Since Trader Joe's Mandarin Orange Chicken kept winning the Customer Choice Awards, Trader Joe's wanted to give other products a chance to win. Trader Joe's has unveiled their new food product Hall of Fame, and inducted its first class of honorees, each at least a five-time winner of their respective categories. Here are the five Hall of Famers, with a description from the company:

  • Trader Joe’s Mandarin Orange Chicken: “This fun and flavorful phenom made a clean sweep of Favorite Overall and Best Entrée multiple years in a row.”
  • Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups: “By placing a rich, dark chocolate twist on a classic candy combo, these sweet treats elevate both elements of its familiar formula to entirely new dimensions.”
  • Trader Joe’s Unexpected Cheddar: “A smooth, creamy Cheddar that shares some saporous similarities with aged Parmesan.” 
  • Trader Joe’s Soy Chorizo: “In an increasingly competitive field of plant-based options, we’re glad to see this Chorizo secure its status as MVP — Magnificent Vegan Protein.”
  • Trader Joe’s Peanut Butter Filled Pretzel Nuggets: “These veterans of the snack section have been a long time coming into the Hall of Fame, and we’re delighted to see them get their due.”

To participate in the voting, go to TraderJoes.com. There are nine categories: Overall, Beverage, Cheese, Sweets/Dessert, Entree, Produce, Snack, Vegan/Vegetarian and Home, Bath and Beauty. Voting ends at midnight PST, Monday, Jan. 9, and the winners will be announced Jan. 23!
