RIK advises consumers to wait after Pesach before purchasing chometz* from major non-Jewish supermarkets (such as Target and Stop & Shop) that buy chometz products from Jewish distributors who do not sell their chometz or from Jewish owned companies that don't sell their chometz such as Restaurant Depot and Job Lot.
