In reply to Any safe veggie burgers or 'chicken' patties?, posted by Isabelle on February 12, 2009, at 19:33:33
I'm also vegetarian and was on MAOIs for years...and I was surprised at how many veggie burgers contain yeast extract.
For frozen veggie burgers, the only brand that I found was safe was the Amy's brand - they are in the organic, frozen section at the grocery stores that I frequent. I don't remember if all of the different flavors were safe but I know that some of them were.
I also found some fresh, not-frozen veggie burgers that were safe - they were in the produce section. I usually bought a package and froze them individually.
Amy's also had soups and some other things that were ok for the MAOI diet - I don't know where if Amy's is available where you are, but their website is www.amys.com - maybe they can help you locate a store in your area that carries their brand.
Hope this helps!
