I'm pretty upset that it contains gluten now. Doesn't really make sense to add gluten when it's been mostly allergen free. I guess I have to find a different product going forward.
Love this product

I used to love the old recipe because I needed to eat less saturated fat to lower cholesterol and this was a great substitute. Now that there's tons of saturated fat in the new recipe. Please consider changing it back to lowering the saturated fat!

So sad to see these change the recipe! Why would you alienate your current consumers? They were a really good, macro-friendly GB substitute that both my wife who has celiac and I could eat. Unfortunately, they doubled down on gluten in this product and we will no longer be purchasing it. Giving our money to Abbot's Butcher now. So sad. I can't speak to this new formula but I did love the old one.
Change of ingredients. WHY????????????????????????

This used to be the best meat mince alternative and we used it two or three times a week. Now it has its ingredients changed and it is not Gluten Free we won’t be using it again. May just have to go back to real meat.

OMG... did you actually change the ingredients? I had been buying this for quite some time because it didn't contain wheat. I've been feeding it to my husband who must remain gluten free! Once I look at an ingredient list on a particular product, I rarely look again. Fortunately, he didn't wind up in the hospital!
not bad but contains allergens

I used to buy so much of this product when it was gluten free and now you have ruined it, you have probably just lost 50% of your customer base by not keeping it gluten-free. Why would you do that?

Best ground beef crumbles I’ve had to date. Cooks like ground beef and has no aftertaste!

Warning - 40% saturated fat We bought the ultimate be’f crumbles thinking they would be the same as the prior ground be’f product. Beware the new product is very different and contains 40% saturated fat vs 0% for the other product. I have no issue with Gardein introducing new recipes, but please at least put the fat details on the front of the packet right next to the huge red circle declaring 23g of protein so we can be informed. It’s hard not to feel misinformed especially as saturated fat is at least equally of interest as protein to the consumer. As someone who has to be careful about saturated fat intake, I won’t be buying this product again and will think twice before buying any Gardein product in future.

Very disappointed that the new Ultimate Gardein B'ef crumbles are not gluten free and contain wheat and palm oil. We used to eat the old Gardein B'ef Crumbles and found it a versatile product that we recommended to many people. We will not be buying the new product nor recommending it. In terms of nutrition this product appears to be far worse than the product it replaced. Why do so many companies feel compelled to make something "new and improved" and end up ruining good product? Please bring back the old Gardein crumbles.

I was trying to find s health meat alternative but little did I know that one serving on this crumble provides 40% of my daily value or saturated fat!! This is horrible. I don't pass on meat so that I can have even more fat!

Bought it because I thought it would be “better” than the regular one, but it tastes funny and it’s soooooo salty and please don’t use palm oil that’s not only did you quintuple the fat but it’s so bad for the earth. The soy based one is wonderful I don’t understand why your company would promote otherwise.

I bought this as my brother’s family was having taco night and my husband is vegan so this was all our grocery store carried and I decided I would eat it as well. However, I found it extremely salty. Otherwise the taste was decent, didn’t have a lot of flavor, but it was edible, mixed with taco seasoning, but still extremely salty and I noticed it is very high and fat and sodium, so will not be buying again in the future.
Disappointed!!!

Pea protein is gross. Soy for life! Gardein isn't doing anyone any favors by perpetuating baseless anti-soy myths, and they aren't fooling anyone because we know pea protein is used only because it's cheap. It tastes awful.
