We used to enjoy the field roast Italian sausage, but they have recently changed the packaging, and of course, along with that, they changed the recipe, and NOT for the better. They are using poor-quality ingredients that I am sure cost less for the company. They now have a weird texture, don't have the spice flavor like the previous, and have an awful bitter aftertaste. It's such a shame. I have found an online recipe to make our own vegan Italian sausages, which are awesome and save us money, too. read more

AVOID THIS PRODUCT Field Roast has the worst packaging of any product ever made It take longer to open Apple Sage sausage package than to cook sausages They need perforated opening Their phone number is discontinued They also include a piece metal on the sausage packet which one could easily swallow and kill you Horrible horrible company read more

Hit or Miss... (^_^) Smoked Apple Sage Sausage Sweetish, good. (-_^) Apple Maple Breakfast Sausage Sweet, if you like that. (-_-) Fruffalo Wings Not wing, just sliced sausage. Skippable. (-_-) Italian Sausage Forgettable, semi greasy. (v_v) Mexican Chipotle Sausage Very greasy. Spicy. I'm open to trying more of their foods, but I'm not exactly in a hurry to do so. read more

Thanks again for helping me , make better choices with great products....Bless you always Hemet, ca.. read more

The Kobe beef of grain meats, if there could be such a thing. I tried Field Roast deli slices about 18 months ago and I'll never be the same. Where their competitors are so dry and as chewy as gum sometimes, Field Roast is savory, succulent, scrumptious... My favorites: the spicy chorizo sausage, the Italian sausage, the original deli slices and either of the roasts. I've even turned the meat eaters in my life onto Field Roast. As another yelper mentions, it sure would be nice if they could expand their product line into the stores, but I'm sure as a small company, they have their reasons why they haven't done so. read more

Let me start by saying that I am not a vegan. I am a person who has a finicky stomach and I used to have high triglycerides! I love sausage, hot dogs and large italian sausages, but they just kill my stomach and add to the cholesterol! I buy their products in my local store. I have always found them to be very good and tasty! They don't upset my stomach, or cause me to have an cholesterol issues. They are very good in soups, sandwiches, with chili and (sorry vegans) scrambled eggs. Since switching to these, my cholesterol has gone from 250 to 105. I like these better than the "real" thing. read more

Great tour today with Jennifer and Brian! Seeing the process from design kitchen to production was amazing and puts it all in perspective. Plant based food with great taste is the future for our planet! We are what we eat and food that is plant based will be a part of helping stamp out food borne disease (ie diabetes and coronary artery disease). Love their products!! Please make a chorizo sausage for my vegan Paella's!!! read more

This review is coming from a unique perspective. I actually have been to Field Roast! Pizza Works just started stocking some Field Roast faux meat for our pizza toppings. They are wholesale, only, so don't plan on going there unless you can buy and store case quantities. That being said, they are very friendly and helpful. They are based in a couple of old houses in Georgetown and it is almost like going into their home. I am hoping that we sell enough of their toppings to keep visiting them to get their top of the line products. From what they said, we are their first pizza restaurant! We will be soon making a couple of field roast based menu items, as well as just carrying the toppings. On the personal side, I have tried their product and even as an omnivore, like Alison R. I have found their wares yummy and filling. read more

Last Thursday, I enjoyed my Tofurkey. I really did. But I wish I had also bought a Celebration Roast. Vegan, shmegan. I'm not even vegan, or even a vegetarian. I just love Tofurkey and Field Roast. read more

Field Roast makes the BEST meat substitutes. Some faux meats have a bizarre aftertaste, or taste like compost... but Field Roast knows how to use whole grains to make compassionate meat. Their chorizo is deliciously spicy. Their Italian sausages contain eggplant and fennel... definitely redeems the eggplant AND saves pigs. They also taste great on pizza. Their deli meats are delicious, credible substitutes for turkey and ham. Field Roast puts Gardein and Tofurky to shame. Field Roast tastes good and good for you too! read more

Going to Costco as a vegetarian just does NOT cut the mustard. Of course I am refering to missing out on the number one attraction to the big box giant: samples, bitchez! Saving all kinds of time by not standing in line for a dixiecup of meatloaf I decided to venture out, and imagine my surprise finding this product in the refrigerated section. I read the description and literally thought, hmm that sounds good - too bad it is meat. I plucked my husband from some other line because I figured these sausages might sound good to him. It took my carnivorous counterpart to point out that these puppies are vegan. Well..yay! I bought the massive 12 pack and could hardly wait to try the chorizo variety (needless to say I decided on Mexican dinner night that evening). Fieldroast chorizo is super flavorful and dare I say kindof spicy. I did not expect this, it was definitely a happy surprise. I like this for quesadilla filling, taco night and even breakfast. The Italian variety contains an ingredient which I positively despise (eggplant), but happens to be my favorite. It works wonderfully on its own in a classic sausage, onion & pepper combination, integrates great with any (tomato based) pasta sauce and is downright delicious combined with sauteed kale, garlic and caramelized onions over pasta dressed with a good quality olive oil. My least favorite of the bunch is the sage and apple variety.. This is pretty sad considering it was the one that sounded best. It seems slightly *sour* on its own, but its fine incorporated in a breakfast scramble. After doing some research on Field Roast's website I have to say I am both intrigued and depressed. So many things sound amazing but only a fraction of them are available to common folk like you and me. I am extremely critical about food, and I can honestly say that I love Field Roast products. It is not just good 'for vegan food' -it is good food, period! I am not a fan of faux meat, and hardly consume soy based products. I would rather eat natural products and vegetables than some artificial mystery 'meat'. However, Field Roast is the exception to this rule! (Not to say the ingredients are a 'mystery', matter of fact they are natural and wholesome). Now if only Costco would continue to stock their items life would be grand.. I cannot find the sausages anywhere! :( read more

Viva the Great Seitan! Although I'm more a tofu-based-fake-meat-kind-of-a-guy myself, they make a helluva fake meat product. I usually associate their product with the Elysian Brewery b/c they make a great BBQ sandwich using Field Roast, but you can also buy it at Whole Foods, etc. I love that it's a local company too. read more

How awesome are Field Roast's sausages? Awesome enough to lure me out of 2+ years of lurkerdom on Yelp to proclaim their amazingness publicly. And I'm terminally shy, peeps. I'm blushing like your maiden aunt right now just writing this sentence. Which is kind of a creepy thought, but no matter. They really are that good. My kids want me to tell you that the Apple Sage are the way to go. They like them on hot dog buns, with mustard and other hot doggy things on top. I'm partial to the chipotle, which make a fantastic addition to my favorite thing ever, fried potato tacos. They belong together, these two. It's heartwarming. I like the Italian, too-they were perfect on open-faced toasted rolls with marinara sauce and grilled eggplant slices. My family and I don't dig on your typical fake meat-type stuff, and the four of us rarely agree to like the same food products, but Field Roast has managed to earn a hard-won spot in our fridge anyway. Not that they'll stay there long. I'm looking forward to trying the deli slices and the celebration roast too. I suspect more giddy proclaiming of awesomeness and furious blushing to come. read more

These are full-on, taste-buds-engaging-in-'sploding-love-sensations delicious grub, regardless if you're high priest of a carnivore-worship-cult or are the director of propaganda for an ancient, secretive vegan ninja-collective. Came upon FR in a grocery store approx. a year ago - I eat a lot of protein to fuel workouts and had wanted to change my protein source from soy/tofu for some time. It took one chipotle sausage warmed up a bit, sliced and adorned with a bit of cheese on a whole-wheat bagel to make me insta-zealot. The Italian and chipotle have a fantastic texture (I've not had any of the rest of their line-up) - I was able to snag a convert recently who doesn't dig tofu's texture but loves the hearty chewiness of Field Roast. While I haven't eaten meat sausage in many years, I don't remember ever having any tasting this good. They've really nailed the mix - after a run if my stomach has seized command and thrown me into lizard-brain-survival-mode, a sausage right out the wrapper is a delight; if I've got some time, they can be built into a huge range of dishes. Current salad obsession: spring mix, baby spinach, FR chipotle, jalapeno jack cheese, feta, olive oil, balsamic, and some crushed red and black pepper - mmm, scrumtralescent. They cook perfectly, keep for quite awhile in the fridge, and are so ultra-delish and hits-the-spot that it's only a matter of time until I figure out how to marry a package of chipotle FR...don't worry, there's plenty of grain-meat love to go around, you're welcome to join in. read more

Field Roast rules. It is so so so so delicious. The sausages are light years ahead of the other faux franks out there. I see that they are entering the scary world of cheese substitutes...my fingers are crossed because most vegan cheese tastes like softened candles. read more

Tastes good, okay, but why is there almost as much fat and calories as in a Big Mac when I stick it in a bun? This is processed food. It's confusing. The roast has 21 grams of fat per serving!!!! Compare that to other foods... read more

I'm SO happy ! I just made the switch to vegetarianism. I was very skeptical that I would be able to stick with it, but after reading Joi B's review of these products and tasting them for myself I know I can conquer my inner carnivore and stay true to my new conviction. This stuff is so tasty, I'd eat it whether I was a veggie or not. The celebration roast is delightful. read more

I don't even know what to say, except that this company makes the tastiest vegetarian sausage EVER. Breakfast was already my favorite meal, but add this to my eggs and I am one happy camper. I saw this at Wegman's in PA and decided to try something new.. and WOW! I just finished eating a Smoke Apple Sage Sausage- they are my favorite so far. Can't wait to try more. May we never eat Tofurky again. read more

So I've never actually bought Field Roast for myself, but have consumed it in mass quantities at Georgetown Liquor Company on sandwiches and love it. I'm a meat eater and enjoy my meat, but this is a great substitute. It's yummy, has a good texture, and is incredibly filling. It's made like 2 blocks from my house which just makes it even cooler. I highly recommend trying it out, at least once, no matter if you're a carnivore, omnivore, or herbivore. read more

It is with great sadness that I leave this post. I have purchased the 4 pack of the chorizo sausages for the first time and to my surprise they taste pretty good all things considered. Tonight, I prepared a late dinner that included one of the sausages. While eating the meal I bit down on something very hard. Surprised, I spit out what I had bit down on and to my complete dismay I found a rough rock slightly larger than a lentil but smaller than a bean. I would say it is a 3rd of an inch long. My teeth where I bit down feel off and I am not sure I want to chance eating the last 2 sausages. The first sausage also had a tiny rock, but I just shrugged it off. This rock is much larger than the first and could have caused serious tooth damage. What the heck?!?! read more

Mexican Chipotle is just super tasty. It is a bit spicy and has tons of flavour. I've also tried their meatloaf, which is equally delicious. Even if you are not a vegan or vegetarian, you should try their products. Unlike other fake meat products out there, Field Roast Grain Meat makes non-meat products tasty without funky aftertaste and/or texture. Apparently, they offer a factory tour. I can't wait to check it out! read more

Finding a dry hard twig in my faux sausage is not ok! Frankly it's tantamount to finding a bone in a genuine piece of sausage. There's no excuse. You've lost a Customer. read more

I'm always get a little apprehensive when I'm going to taste a vegan 'meat' product. I've had too many encounters where it just taste like rubber or something synthetic. However, this absolutely wowed me! The full review is at my website: http://www.theveganverdict.com read more

Vegan-friendly food that meat eaters also enjoy. Recently I tried the sausages for the first time... I'd hesitated due to the price. They're definitely worth paying for. Mmm, spicy Mexican-inspired sausage. read more

Love, love, love field roast! The apple sage and the chipotle sausages are my favorites. Put them in sauces for pasta, in buns for hot dogs, in casseroles, and salads. The best grain 'meat' on the market. I love that they don't pretend to be chicken or beef or pork and that they are their own thing instead of a substitution for people to compare to. What makes them so great is that they are a full fat product. Who would eat a fat free sausage? The fat content is what sets this product apart from other veggie 'meat' products. read more

Fieldroast, which is owned by Maple Leaf Foods, does not make safe products. February 2019 there was glass in one of their products we purchased. We all stopped eating and discarded the remainder of our food after my husband bit into glass. When we called, it was a monday since they were not open during the weekend to take our call. We called and told them what had happened, blood in mouth, teeth and gum sensitivity, blood in stool. They told us they will send something to us to put the burger and glass in to return it to their lab. They sent coupons for more potentially harmful products that we did not use. That was their way of saying "sorry." 3 MONTHS after we sent this to their lab I called back, the first week they didn't answer my phone calls and the second they answered but I kept getting the receptionist who said that their supervisor would get back to me. That didn't happen and I had to call back. I was wondering why they haven't got in contact with us for these 3 months. She said they were "still working on it." To me that means that they haven't gotten to it yet, that there are god knows how many other cases of defective food items before ours that they are backed up. We continued with our claim and sent them everything we had, doctor and dentist visits, and proof of 2 days off of work and a home early showed on a paystub. They wanted more. We cannot give what we do not have. So this shows me that they don't just have dangerous products on the shelves, but they don't care about their customers. My husband now has sensitivity in his teeth and gums for life. If you're reading this, please consider another product to protect yourself and those you care for. Fieldroast is putting potentially defective and dangerous products on market. read more

I've finally tried the lauded Field Roast (Italian) and I must say the praise is worthy. Oh my! I honestly like it better than the meat version. Seriously. It was genuinely satisfying and all without that creepy mystery bit that one can never fully masticate when chowing on a beef, pork or chicken produced link. I stopped short of rating it a five based on: 1. Price. Unless one is single and well compensated or, a couple well compensated, this is not working class fair unfortunately. Can't do it. It was purchased as a one time deal and cut hors d'oeuvre style and it was loved but, it is not a must have. 2. Really wasn't sure what was meant by "do not overcook." It's ready to eat out of the on the package and so for a nice crisp there needs a bit high heat but, I there was a bit more dryness than maybe it should have been and since I didn't know what the outcome would be, I wouldn't have minded say "please cook no more than....... 3. A bit of an off taste left but not enough to not still say the experience was "almost great." I'd love to have these as a staple in my home but unless they're on sell or I have coupon's, it ain't happening. read more

Okay, I am giving this a three star rating based on the statements of the ingredients: Which after my readings I have found them to be true which is another product selling false labeling foods and this is not settling well with me. I am one that suffers from (WPW) which means that I am limited to the foods that contain (MSG) and with this product I have found that this has -Yeast extracts and fermented foods contain glutamic acid, an amino acid found in meat, cheese, fungi and vegetables, including mushrooms, broccoli, and tomatoes.[1] According to Joe Dickson, a past member of the USDA's National Organic Standards Board,[2] a number of consumer groups have claimed that certain food ingredients, such as autolyzed yeast and hydrolyzed protein, are MSG in disguise. Large food retailers dispute this.[3] Now in small doses this may not cause harm but for someone like myself that isn't supposed to have any (MSG's) (Caffeine, Chocolate etc. This food labeling in deceptive. So based on the fact that I enjoyed the (Hand formed field burger) and I'm sure that I will eat another one please give your customers the accurate ingredients as to what is in the product. You can't be and sell organic and vegan foods if you are not going to give the customer just that. So all in all I will say the burger was good and I enjoyed every bite of it. read more

It is amazing how vegan products can be marketed in a deceitful way too. I bought the Fruffalo wings with a great design in-front the bag. Every one might fall for one for it. The pieces of meat and the buffalo sauce is in the bag are trash. I never taste a salty meat as I experienced with this buffalo wings. None diabetic individual can eat this due to the excess of salt in this product.Field Roast original FRUFFALO WINGS I will never buy any of these product. thank you read more

I have never been to the store location, so I am only reviewing their vegan chipotle sausage which I purchased at Fred Meyer's. I'm really into meat-less chorizo right now. Have had some really great restaurant experiences, so I thought I would try to do some of my own creations at home. I was appalled by the $4.79 price tag on actual Soyrizo, and saw a package of Field Roast Chipotle Sausage on sale from $5.29 down to $2.25. What a deal! So I tried it. No wonder why it is marked down half off, no one wants this stuff - and especially not at $5.29 for a package of only four "sausages." However, would it have been tasty I would have considered restocking. It is bad. It is very, very greasy with what I believe to be sun dried tomato oil and the overall taste is exactly like those little meat-inspired chewy dog treats. Yes, I cooked it correctly. Yes, I mixed it with other ingredients (onion, garlic, mushroom, peppers). It tastes like dog treats! Disgusting. However, since there are so many other positive reviews and I have only tried one product, I gave them 2 stars instead of 1. I would be open to trying their other products, but I definitely would not purchase them myself. read more

Have been enjoying all the Field Roast products, for the past year. They are delicious and soy free. Purchasing them at the Whole Foods in Chandler or Tucson. Was unaware that some Safeway stores carry their products. That would be a much shorter commute to get them. Will have to put in a request at my local Safeway. Questions to David L. : Will the Field Roast products be gluten free soon? Have you considered using non-GMO ingredients in your products? read more

Field Roast Frankfurters I like the taste of these better than Smart Dogs and other veggie dogs I've tried. However, I just learned they contain 'yeast extract', which is a sneaky form of MSG. It contains glutamates which are excitotoxins. MSG is the worst, but food makers have taken up yeast extract, hydrolyzed proteins, etc instead to throw off consumer awareness of exactly what is inside. MS glutamate (mono-sodium) is only one form, and it is the glutamate part that does the excitotoxin effect on the brain, causing brain cells to get excited then die in a state of bliss, so you lose brain cells while thinking stuff tastes great. Look at the reviews, raves about veggie sausages, even from meat eaters. Could be excitotoxins, really just the dying brain cells talking? I'm sorry they chose to go this way and spike their dogs with this stuff. They call it 'naturally flavored yeast extract'. "Flavoring" of yeast extract doesn't change its excitotoxic glutamate. They probably flavored it with something natural so they could add the word 'natural' to the yeast extract ingredient, so people might think it isn't a form of MSG, which it is. read more

This company almost everywhere now especially a bigger selection in Raley's in Fremont, and New Seasons Market in Sunnyvale. I go for the Sun dried tomato deli slices, and roast. Their burgers is great too. It has great texture and great flavor. read more

I have been a vegetarian (and try to be vegan) since the age of 4. I have never tasted most meats, so 'meat substitutes' either taste good or taste bad to me. I don't really compare them to 'meat.' I eat meat substitutes for variety, protein, and filler. I was at a Whole Foods recently. I don't shop there often, because it is a good distance from my house and the pretentious vibe in Whole Foods tends to annoy me. but when I am there, I try to take advantage of the items I don't normally see at my local HEB. I picked up the Field Roast Grain Meat Deli Slices (lentil and sage). I made a wrap with the slices that night and was floored. It was the most delicious wrap I have ever had. Hands down. I made another the next night and will probably have another at lunch today. I tried a piece of the deli slice on its own with a bit of hummus and it was so tasty. I intend to go back to Whole Foods this weekend and buy all the packages of deli slices they have. If I overdose on lentils, you will know why. If the other products taste this good, I am going to be one happy eater. read more

I love all their products! Best tasting veggie stuff out there, BUT does anyone know if they use hydrolyzed or textured wheat protein? I know its vital wheat gluten, but its the hydrolysis , or texturizing process I'm wanting to know about. Thanks in advance!:) read more

I've never been inside this place so I am reviewing their vegetarian sausages they sell at the supermarket and Costco. First off, buy these at Costco if you can. They are SO much cheaper. The pack is huge but I still have tons of them in my freezer. I have had the apple sage and the chipotle flavors. The chipotle is, as the name indicates, spicy. When I am mixing these in with something and I don't want an overpowering,intense flavor (or when I don't want spice in general,) I opt for apple sage. I also have way more of the apple sage since that was the Costco pack! My meat-eating boyfriend is not a fan because he says they are too dry and don't mimic the juiciness of meat. I...haven't eaten meat in 8 years so I couldn't tell you how juicy meat should be! I don't really like the taste of meat though so if something imitates it too much, its a no go for me. These cook pretty well. They are perfect for hot dogs or in pastas or whatever else you normally put sausages in! One final note: I looked at the nutritional information the other day and these things are FAT! This is why I have so many in the freezer! Eat sparingly if you are weight conscious, but every time you do, enjoy! read more

Yesterday I found Field Roast Italian Sausage in a vegan supermarket in Hamburg. I used the sausages for a vegan version of Jamie Oliver's 'proper blokes' sausage fusilli' recipe (http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/pasta-recipes/proper-blokes-sausage-fusilli ) This sausage is so good, I love it. It's perfect. It tastes like an original salsiccia, at least as I remember it from my omnivore past. I find the sausage very expensive, no wonder, since it's shipped from the U.S. Too bad that there's no branch of Field Roast in Germany. Anyway, I'm glad that I dicovered this fine product. read more

Hells yeah. This is seriously the tastiest veggie sausage I've had in my 12 year career in vegetarianism (er-less cause I started eating fish 2 years ago, but whatever...SMOKED APPLE SAGE). If vegetarianism WERE a career, I wouldn't want Trident layers as payment- I'd want FIELD ROAST SAUSAGES. read more
