Both my boyfriend and I (both vegetarians) have felt nauseous on different occassions after eating the meatless sausages from different packs. Has anyone else encountered this?

I haven't and I LOVE those Boca sausages. Maybe you got a bad batch? Check with your local grocer in case there was a bad batch shipped to that store

I think Boca changed the formula for the sausage over the past couple of years. It used to be vegan. Now it's not. That could be a possibility

Per chance are you buying the organic version of the sausage? Boca uses Konjac gum as a fat replacement and binder (instead of Acacia gum) in their organic products. Konjac isn't a 'bad' thing to use in food but I quit using it (along with Carageen) because I've noticed that some people occasionally have problems digesting it.
It's my opinion (no real facts

I have never tried it.
We do make Boca Burgers in the frying pan with a little oil and then dress them up with various condiments. They taste terrific.
You could write to the company and tell them, or just don't eat them anymore - try the Boca Burgers if you haven't.

I eat the Boca Burgers and they're good, never felt nauseous but I am not vegetarian.

Ive never had the sausage but Ive eaten the burgers and never felt sick. Maybe there is a certain ingredient that your body is not used to in the sausage.

Oh gag. I'd suggest only buying fake meat subs at a big-time veggie grocery store, where you know the stock is being rotatoed on a regular basis, and not growing old sitting in the cooler waiting on you to buy it. Look for expiratin dates, and if they are not legible, do not buy. (I've heard of places rubbing them enough so they cannot be read.)

You may have added too much grease, but otherwise you should not get nauseous from Boca sausage.
