Boca Burger is a veggie burger made chiefly from soy protein and wheat gluten; it is a registered trademark of the Boca Foods Company, a subsidiary of Kraft Foods. Like all of Boca Foods' products, Boca Burgers serve as a meat analogue. Although most of Boca products are vegetarian and include animal-derived ingredients such as eggs and/or dairy products, some of them are vegan. As of summer 2008, Boca Burgers are not available outside North America, and there are no current plans to offer them internationally.[1]

[edit] History
The Boca Foods Company began in Boca Raton, Florida, in 1993 with the vegetarian "Sun Burger". Over the next decade, more burgers were introduced, as well as meatless versions of ground beef, chicken nuggets, pizza, chili, lasagna, and sausages. Organic versions of some Boca products appeared in 2001. Others still use genetically modified ingredients[citation needed] and unidentified "natural flavorings".[citation needed]
