The smell didn't leave the house for hours. I won't eat this garbage again. Threw the rest away. I have a stomach of steel and I've tried other veggie burgers in the past with no issue. this is unusual for me to have this reaction.
Update: I stopped feeling sick after another hour. Still won't eat these again. I learned they're made with a genetically modified ingredient that makes the burger look pink and bloody like beef.
I got it from a food bank. Though I'm not blaming them for it, I've went to this food bank many times with no issues. The problem is the company that makes these burgers. The ingredient they use to make the burger look bloody and pink like real beef, I believe that's what made me feel nauseous.ive never consumed that ingredient (heme) once in my life until yesterday when I ate that See Less”
