Boca Burger
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Boca Burger is a veggie burger made chiefly from soy protein and wheat gluten; it is a registered trademark of the Boca Foods Company, a subsidiary of Kraft Foods. Like all of Boca Foods' products, Boca Burgers serve as a meat analogue. Although all Boca products are vegetarian, some of them are not vegan and include animal-derived ingredients such as eggs and/or dairy products. Boca Burgers are currently not available outside the United States and Denny's restaurants in Canada.

[edit] History
The Boca Foods Company began in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida in 1993 with the vegetarian "Sun Burger". Over the next decade, more burgers were introduced, as well as meatless versions of ground beef, chicken nuggets, pizza, chili, lasagna, and sausages. Organic versions of some Boca products appeared in 2001. Others still use genetically modified ingredients and unidentified "natural flavorings".[citation needed]
