I just made some veggie "riblets" by Morningstar, and as far as I can tell they're vegan and free of any egg products. But the packaging & Morningstar's website still say I need to cook them to an internal temperature of 165 degrees for food safety.
Which would be fine, except I don't have a microwave and accidentally undercooked them in my oven. They were room-temperature and pretty tasty, but I was so hungry I'd already eaten most of it when I remembered the cooking instructions.
Why would they advise 165 degrees (the minimum safe temp for meat) for veggie products? Has anyone gotten sick from undercooked Morningstar or Boca dishes?
Help!
