LEARN ABOUT EVERY NEW VEGAN FOOD AT TRADER JOE’S FOR FALL 2021. MAKE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE VIDEO TO SEE OUR TASTE TEST REACTIONS.
We were so excited to get back to Trader’s Joes for another taste test and review! Trader Joe’s is also rotating products and coming out with new vegan goodies and we happily get to share them! This is our Fall 2021 version of the brand new vegan food that we found at Trader Joe’s.
Many of these things are seasonal, so if you read something here that you like or see it in the video, we highly suggest that you head there soon before it’s gone.
Also, we want to mention that prior to going vegan, we had never been to Trader Joe’s, so sometimes things pop up that we think may be new that actually aren’t or that have been there before and coming back.
If you want to read through our other Trader Joe’s vegan food haul taste tests, you can do so here.
This time we found 16 new items. And we tasted most of them!

How did you find new vegan fall products at Trader Joes?
Our primary source was Trader Joe’s store itself. They have a large in store display with all the new fall items. From there, we just looked at the ingredients and made a decision on if we thought the items were suitable or not.
Trader Joe’s own website is also very helpful. They have a section called Dig In that gives the scoop on many of the new products. Also our friend’s Instagram account, Trader Joe’s Goes Vegan is awesome for finding new products.
Lastly, we looked for new and seasonal item signs when we went into the store. They are usually purple signs that say new item right in front of the item. The seasonal ones are orange.
