I was not aware of the brouhaha (not merely a hubbub) over 4C changing its seasoned bread crumbs recipe 10 months ago. "Among the complaints.... common themes included the breadcrumbs not adhering as well, taking too long to crisp up before either burning or becoming soggy, and tasting too sweet."

A formula switch in 4C's Seasoned Bread Crumbs has sparked a wave of kitchen meltdowns among home cooks. The new recipe added egg, high fructose corn syrup, molasses, and honey.

Love how this is a crisis localized entirely within our region. Other parts of this country may use these breadcrumbs but we're the only ones about to commit seppuku because our chicken cutlets taste like burnt cinnamon. If my meatballs were compromised, I too would seek an honorable death.
