Dr. Praeger's California Veggie Burger
Permalink Closed

Just FYI from the Hungrygirl.com website since I know alot of yall eat these.  I haven't been able to find them yet where I live.


"It's a very sad day here at Hungry Girl. We recently learned that Dr. Praeger's California Veggie Burger, a patty very near and dear to our hearts, may in fact contain more fat and calories than the nutrition label claims. In two independent tests, the burgers were found to have approximately twice the fat, and a significant number of calories (20-30%) more than the doc's label states. Since the discovery was made, the company has been ordered to remove their American Heart Association endorsement from all boxes. Dr. Praeger's says the fat content has gone up temporarily due to the water levels in the vegetables. So what steps will be taken next? The burgers will be re-formulated and re-tested. Our advice? Know what you're getting into...and when dealing with any of Doc P's products, play it safe and blot the excess oil off of the item before eating (we've noticed the greasiness and fear that some of their other products may have more fat than what's listed, too). More details on this as they become available..."


One thing I don't understand is how fat content can go up due to water??? That seems odd to me.

What a bummer!  I love Dr Praeger's veggie burgers.  I did always blot off any excess oil before eating though. 


Fat content increasing because of water does not make any sense to me either.

I used to eat those veggie burgers ALL THE TIME. That sucks. I agree that they're kind of oily. I used to cook them in the microwave on a paper towel, and there would always be like a circle of oil left behind.

Luckily, I got kind of sick of them and went back to eating boca burgers.

Wow. That makes me so sad. I used to inhale them...they were pretty yummy. Now I feel like throwing them in the garbage.
