Wherefore Art Thou, Gardenburger?
Posted on Sunday, June 01, 2008
Does anyone know what's going on with the Gardenburgers? In the last week I was unable to get a Gardenburger from NJ Subway and Cheeburger Cheeburger restaurants. As a vegetarian, it's hard enough to find something to order in most chain restaurants, and now there seems to be a Gardenburger recall?
Of the little news that I've been able to find, OregonLive.com has reported that "restaurant workers noticed abnormalities in the look and texture of patties" and that Kellogg's (the parent company) "told its customers last week that construction work at its Clearfield, Utah, plant may have affected the quality of some Gardenburger products. The voluntary withdrawal was limited to products produced during the two months from March 4 to May 6. A Kellogg statement Thursday emphasized that food safety was not involved in the withdrawal."
No official word from Gardenburger or Kellogg's has been issued to the public. The FDA seems as surprised as us. So far, the only news seems to be from the Pacific coast. What's going on? Does anyone have any information?Labels: food, vegetarian
