Here's the message I received. -colinm

The purpose of this letter is to inform you of our need to immediately reduce our Boca natural item offerings from our current 13 skus to 6. We regret the immediate nature of this action. However, severe labor issues affecting our manufacturing plant's operations have made this move necessary.

We have been experiencing difficulty in servicing our business over the past two months due to dramatic inventory reductions. While we were optimistic that we could manage through these problems, it has become evident that more significant steps need to be taken.

Our plan is as follows:

1. Effective immediately the following skus will be discontinued:

07592836001800 10Z BOCA ORGANIC GARDEN VEG BURGER

07592836002200 8Z BOCA ORGANIC BREAKFAST LINK

07592836005700 10Z BOCA NATURAL ITALIAN SAUSAGE

07592836005800 10Z BOCA NATURAL BRATWURST

07592836001700 10Z BOCA ORGANIC ROASTED GARLIC BURGER

07592836002100 8Z BOCA ORGANIC BREAKFAST PATTIES

07592836002000 10Z BOCA ORGANIC ROASTED ONION BURGER

2. We will continue to offer the following the 6 top selling skus (which represents 62% of your Natural Boca business):

07592836001600 10Z BOCA ORGANIC ALL AMERICAN BURGER

07592836001500 10Z BOCA ORGANIC VEGAN BURGER

07592836001100 10Z BOCA CHIKN NATURAL PATTY

07592836011200 10Z BOCA CHIKN NATURAL NUGGETS

07592836001400 10Z BOCA CHIKN NATURAL SPICY PATTY

07592836010600 12Z BOCA NATURAL GROUND CRUMBLES

We want to assure you that we remain committed to the Boca business. Our focus moving forward will be manufacturing and supplying these top skus. We believe this streamlining of our portfolio will allow us to improve the supply situation more quickly while we address the core manufacturing challenges.

We thank you for your support and your understanding.

Thank goodness they are keeping the chick'n burgers. I eat those almost daily in a wrap with veggies. There are many things I could easily switch to Morningstar for... but NOT the chick'n. Boca is far better than Morningstar in that area.

A lot of those discontinued ones sound good, but I've never seen them in my stores (like the onion burger?). Maybe the problem is that the stores aren't carrying them so we can't buy them.

These seem to be the more natural/organic versions carried by health food stores not the more common grocery store versions.

Where I am they actually seem to go on sale (2 for the price of 1) every few months, and they freeze really well, so I have a freezer with about 4 packages of them right now.
