The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called Mormons) has no official stance on the Catholic Eucharist.
Elder Quentin Cook of the Church's Quorum of Twelve Apostles said in April 2009 "Notwithstanding the significance of our doctrinal differences with other faiths, our attitude toward other churches has been to refrain from criticism. They do much good. They bless mankind. Many help their members learn of the Savior and His teachings."
And one of the Church's Articles of Faith is "We claim the priviledge of worshipping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own concience, and allow all men that same priviledge - let them worship how, where, or what they may." Because of this, the Church generally does not have anoy official stance or opinion about the practices of other churches. The 1979 reference book "Mormon Doctrine" by Bruce R. McConkie says, "One of the sacraments of the Catholic Church is the Eucharist. As administered by them this is not the correct form of the true ordinance of the sacrament of the Lord's Supper. The chief feature of the Eucharist - according to their teaching - is that bread and wine, on the principle of transubstantiation, turn literally into the flesh and blood of our Lord. (James Cardinal Gibbons, "The Faith of Our Fathers" pp. 235-250)"
This book was not officially published or sanctioned by the Church but is as close to an 'official' statement on the subject as there is.
