'Gardenburger' is the brand name of a
veggie burger. The company makes a variety of
vegetarian and
vegan products and
meat substitutes. According the the company's website, the original Gardenburger is made from
mushrooms,
onions,
brown rice,
rolled oats,
cheese, and
spices. Gardenburger is a
registered trademark of the Wholesome and Hearty Foods Company. Other products such as Chick'n Grill and Veggie Breakfast Sausage also contain
soy protein and
wheat gluten.
Although all Gardenburger products are
vegetarian, some of them are not
vegan and include
animal-derived ingredients such as
eggs or
dairy products, such as
milk and
cheese. Their vegan burgers are the Black Bean Chipotle, Flame Grilled, GardenVegan (which is also
soy free) and Veggie Medley; the vegan specialties include BBQ Riblets, Chik’n Grill, Herb Crusted Cutlet, and Veggie Breakfast Sausage. Their website also lists
heart positive,
wheat free,
gluten free, and
soy free dietary preferences as well as vegan.

Gardenburger labeling does not exclude the possibility of their products containing
genetically modified soy.
In 2006, Gardenburger announced that is has taken eggs out of all of its products except for one private-sourced item which now contains
organic, cage-free eggs.
