I tried using the > veggie crumbles, but the " meatballs " would not stick > together. I use the Gimme Lean or Boca " ground beef " and just squish them into balls and saute--works pretty well for me. Not sure what veggie crumbles you are using. You could add some tomato paste, maybe? Also, you can buy Nate's " Meatballs " in the frozen food section, if you don't mind paying more. HTH, Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 I believe it's Morningstar Farms that is made by Kellogg's and contains GMO's. I have seen both GMO and non-GMO products from Boca. Their parent company is Kraft.

Regarding Boca, our co-op has pretty strict screens about GMOs and are absolutely fanatical about hydrogenated oils (I've been in a protracted battle with them to carry Tofutti " cream cheese, " but that's another story) and tehy carry Boca products. Hydrogenated oils aren't on the current Boca ingedient list. That list doesn't mention non-GMO soy, so it either is GMO or can't be claimed as GE-Free. Regarding Kellogg's ownership, it's actually worse than you think! Boca is owned by Philip Morris/Kraft (it's MOrningstar that's owned by Kellogg's). Most of the national organic brands are now owned by big corporations. This incudes Yves which is owned by the Hain/Celestial group, which is partially owned by ... Heinz! An interesting chart of corporate ownership of organic labels is at http://www.certifiedorganic.bc.ca/rcbtoa/services/corporate-ownership.html and is well worth checking out! On the one hand, it's great that organics are becoming more popular. On the other hand, the more popular they are, the more likely they are to be bought out. Karen Finance Tax Center - File online.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 thank you for correcting me. i do know boca used to have hydrogenated oils as i got into a big fight with my grandmother when i read the label (she figured * a little bit can't hurt the baby*) but this was a while back so they must have taken them out... good for them i can never figure out who owns who anymore so thank you for that link, i knew yves was recently bought by a big company as well sigh..... tara - Karen Hirsch Thursday, March 25, 2004 11:36 PM Re: (MEATBALLS) > boca's stuff contains GMO's and are made by > kelloggs. at one point their products also contained > partially hydrogentaed oils > yves makes *meatballs* that are quite good Hi, Tara-- Good points, but...
