If you've been having a hard time finding Gardenburgers this summer, that could be because there was a bit of a mess going on with the acquisition of the company by Kellogg's. We'd heard rumors that some burgers may have been recalled due to contamination during construction at the manufacturing plants (um, YIKES!). But we looked into it, and here's the deal. A Kellogg's rep confirmed to HG that during manufacturing improvements, some GB products "may not have been produced under conditions that meet [Kellogg's] high quality standards." Kellogg's did issue a voluntary withdrawal of certain products, but the company insists, "The product involved in the voluntary withdrawal was safe for consumption." The withdrawal was apparently completed in May. But it's the end o f July and we STILL can't find most of our favorite GBs! Look for new GB packaging (with Kellogg's info on it) to roll out soon... we hope!
