URGENT PLEA

I have a request. Trader Joe's has decided to stop carrying SMUCKER'S diet cranberry  beverage from juice concentrate. There are so few items we can drink. This is 1 that I have loved for the past 5 years. For 8 oz there were 20 calories, with 3 g of sugar. I called Smucker's tonite to find out where I could purchace it. Unfortunetly it was made specfically for Trader Joe's only. If enough of us contact Trader Joe's and Smucker's maybe we could get it on the shelves again. Talk to their customer support reps. Marketing and retail.

copy of letter i sent to TJ's tonite

I was told last night you will no longer carry Smucker's Cranberry juice from concentrate. After contacting Smucker's, I was told that they made the product specificatelly for Trader Joe's and noone else. I cannot go to another vendor to purchase it.
I had gastric bypass 5 yrs ago, so the fact that there were 3 grams of sugar, only 20 calories, and 5 grams of carbohydrates made it my beverage of choice. I am active in my local WLS community and I often take other patients to Trader Joe's to go through the store, reading labels and learning how to adjust to our new way of eating healthy. There are many products that I endorse as healthy and promote Trader Joe's as a gastric bypass Friendly store. Hope to see it on your shelves again soon. Thanks for your replay.

Elissa, were you aware there is a Diet Ocean Spray cranberry (and grape) made from concentrate that is 10 cals. for 12 oz. and 3gr sugar?  They are excellent.   For other fruit flavors the Tropicana Light series drinks and Minute Maid Light drinks are excellent as well.  Ocean Spray has also just begun making the little onesie powder packets for take along.   Just an FYI to a cranberry lover.  

Thanks for getting back to me. I'll look for them in the store. I do like the crystal lite red grapefruit. I put my Unjury protein powder in it. ((HUGS Elissa

A bunch of us tried to talk them into keeping their soy pretzels a couple years ago...we all got the samed canned response of "sorry, but no can do"  from Trader Joes.  Good luck!! 

Looks like Ocean Spray also has a diet cranberry drink. I'll give it a try. I just hate when stores cancel products I like. I guess its a budget cost thing. LOL. ((HUGS)) Elissa
