Trader Joe's Corn and Chile Tomato-less Salsa - 13.75 oz

This jar broke the salsa rules and became a legend for it: no tomatoes at all — sweet corn and chile peppers instead, landing somewhere between salsa, relish, and corn salad. Sweet first, gently spicy after, absurdly scoopable.

It's a perennial entry on 'things to buy at Trader Joe's' lists, and the corn-loving Korean palate is its natural second home.

• Straight scooping with tortilla chips
• Topping for tacos and grilled meat
• Folded into corn cheese, upgraded
• Over rice bowls and salads
• Mixed with cream cheese as a quick dip

This one's a good fit if

• Corn lovers (that's Korea)
• Sweet-salsa preferrers
• TJ must-buy list followers
• Chip-and-dip households

This is one of TJ's most-recommended items period — the jar US shoppers tell friends to grab first. Korea's corn obsession makes it the single easiest sell in the salsa lineup, and it has never been distributed here.

A Trader Joe's store exclusive with no official Korean distribution.

Shipping is free on every order, with no minimum. There are no handling fees, no customs processing charges, and no hidden costs added at checkout. What you see is what you pay.

Orders are dispatched within 1 to 2 business days of purchase. A tracking number is sent to your email once your order is on its way.

All orders are processed as personal-use overseas purchases, which means they clear Korean customs without requiring KC certification. Shipments are handled using your Personal Customs Clearance Code (PCCC) for full transparency, and you can track your parcel through the Korea Customs Service UNI-PASS portal at any time.

Orders valued under USD 200 from the United States qualify for duty-free clearance under Korea's simplified customs scheme. In the unlikely event that any order encounters a customs issue, we will issue a full refund without question.

If you do not yet have a Personal Customs Clearance Code (PCCC), you can get one free of charge in under five minutes at unipass.customs.go.kr.

Is this authentic?

Yes. Every item is purchased directly from Trader Joe's stores in the US, inspected, and then shipped — 100% authentic.

Why can't I buy this in Korea?

Trader Joe's has no official stores or online shop in Korea. Their products are sold only in US stores, which is exactly what we bring to you through direct import.

What about the expiration date?

Because we purchase every item from the US only after you place your order, we ship products with plenty of shelf life remaining. The exact best-by date is printed on the package.

1. Choose your option and complete your order. A Personal Customs Code (개인통관고유부호) is required.
2. We purchase your item from a US store and inspect its condition.
3. Your order ships by air and goes through Korean customs.
4. As soon as it clears customs, it's delivered to your door by domestic courier.
