Morningstar Farms Recalls Spicy Black Bean Burgers

One of the most popular posts ever at this blog is our 2010 (!) review of Morningstar Farms Chipotle Black Bean Burgers. We don't really eat them anymore because a) our local Costco doesn't seem to carry them, and b) we're trying to cut back on the amount of beans and starches in our diet.
