They recently reformulated these removing egg and milk (good!!) but the texture is a smushy mess and the taste is beyond foul. These remind me of the old days when fake meat was so far from the real thing - we have the technology now. I hope they redo these and keep them vegan. I eat these every day for lunch and now I need to find a new alternative. Luckily there are new brands like Beyond Meat and Quorn. I'm sure I'll find something.

I have consistently bought these sausages for many years and loved the flavor, consistency, etc. But the recent update to the recipe makes the sausages mooshy and changed the flavor. Even when I fry up the outsides so they are nice and crispy, the inside has an unappetizing paste-like consistency that is really gross. I will not be buying these anymore which is really disappointing as they have been a savory breakfast staple.

I have eaten and enjoyed the original recipe for years and years, and I have served them to meat eaters who were very impressed with their flavor and texture. I was unaware of the recipe change, and when I took my first bite of the new product, I thought that there had been a supply chain thaw that had caused the sausages to rot. The taste and texture were terrible! I can't imagine that you gained many new customers by going vegan, and I know for sure that you lost me. Please, change back to the old recipe.

I've eaten these everyday for years. Now Morning Star has changed the recipe. Instead of making a dedicated vegan version, Morning Star wants to force vegan on all of us. The new taste is mostly blackpepper with a mealy texture. It is no longer special. Ironically, I may have to move to a meat patty to get a decent alternative. Morning Star - vegetarian is not vegan. Leave your winners alone and make vegan versions.

I ate these for breakfast everyday for years. Now Morning Star has made them vegan in an effort to force vegan-ism on vegetarians. Morning Star could have simple made a vegan version to sell along side the vegie version. The fact that they didn't shows that they know the vegan ones taste terrible and they're hoping we'll be forced to eat them anyway. But of course we won't. We'll eat something else. So long, best-of-fake-meat patties.

These are/were my favorite breakfast sausage patties. I eat them all the time. I booths a couple bags that I thought were “off” then lucked into a third bag and saw the difference… it's the new vegan recipe. :( I respect your company's choice to switch to all vegan but the new flavor/texture/smell is off-putting to me so once all the egg-containing packages disappear from my area I'm definitely gonna have to say goodbye and find an alternative.

This isn't rocket science. EVERYONE HATES THE NEW RECIPES. If you have no plans to revert the recipes back and want to continue selling gross food, just admit it so we can all move on. Your loss. But for the record, you have some serious management issues if noone cares that the customers hate the products.

A five-star product now a one-star. These have been a staple in my house. I loved them, used to eat these daily. The last bag I bought, however, terrible. Like other reviewers have mentioned, they smell and taste different (in the worst way), they are spongy, and very stringy… not at all appetizing. Being a very loyal Morningstar fan, I tried to eat them, but no matter what I covered them with I could not get past the unappealing taste and texture. I had to throw the rest out. While I can appreciate the effort to make them vegan, and expand your customer base, you've now lost a lot of vegetarian consumers. I am reluctant to try the links again as I never liked those and don't want to waste more money (they were the only Morningstar product I didn't like). Unfortunately, these are the only two breakfast items I've found at our local stores. I really hope you will consider the comments you've received and reconsider bringing back your original recipe.

I've been buying the sausage patties for over 7 years. I'm so disappointed that they changed the recipe. No longer taste like sausage and the texture is too pasty like. I don't know what I'm going to do for breakfast now. I'm not full on vegan but I can't eat real sausage. You all made a big mistake making this change. I bet your sales will fall now. :(

I've eaten these daily for 8 years. Morningstar changed the recipe without warning and the new product is simply awful. They're mushy, and have a chemical-y taste. They've ruined a good product. And despite all of the vocal feedback, they just keep saying it's their “clean label initiative” and that's that. Pretty bizarre from a customer service standpoint. Disappointing and will no longer purchase these. Which is a shame because if they reverted back to the old recipe, I'd buy them again in a heartbeat.
