    I am imagining that due to it being a tofu burger whether it was "contaminated" with soy or not "Individuals who are allergic to soy or sesame may experience a severe – even life-threatening – reaction shortly after consuming one of these products."

    Someone with a soy allergy should't be eating the burger to begin with as tofu IS soy!

    you mean they pulled tofu burgers off the market because it had undeclared soy? sheesh!!!!
