5 Trader Joe's Items That Just Made Its "Hall of Fame" List

Among the vast array of beloved Trader Joe's products are several fan-favorite items that have stood the test of time.

The cult-favorite grocery chain has retired five popular products from the contest due to their "revered status and consecutive wins.

First introduced in January 2004, this beloved frozen food has been crowned Favorite Overall and Best Entrée multiple years in a row. The product features tender chunks of crispy chicken with a mandarin orange ginger sauce.

Can you name a more crowd-pleasing combo than chocolate and peanut butter? Launched in August 2010, these bite-sized treats have been a consistent winner in the Best Dessert/Sweets category.

An oldie but a goodie, this crunchy, creamy snack was first released in 1992—and has been delighting TJ's fans ever since. Filled with peanut butter and coated in coarse salt.

It's cheddar—with a twist. Making its debut in August 2011, Trader Joe's Unexpected Cheddar has been a regular winner of the Best Cheese title.

Another August 2011 product launch reigns supreme. Taking home the Favorite Vegan/Vegetarian Product award in past years, Trader Joe's Soy Chorizo puts a vegetarian spin on the traditional Spanish sausage.

"In an increasingly competitive field of plant-based options, we're glad to see this Chorizo secure its status as MVP—Magnificent Vegan Protein, that is," Trader Joe's writes.
