Thank your for your recent e-mail requesting information about Quorn products. We hope you will find the following information helpful. Quorn products are marketed as healthy meat alternatives that can be eaten by anyone ( except very young children ).Quorn is an ideal meat alternative providing low fat, high quality protein and a good source of dietary fibre. These positive nutritional qualities can greatly assist consumers in their choice towards healthier eating.

Myco-protein, the main ingredient in Quorn products is a special variety of the mushroom family. It is grown under carefully controlled conditions. This is achieved by growing it in a fermenter on glucose and minerals, a similar process to that used for the production of beer, cheese, or yoghurt.

Myco-protein is then mixed with flavours and a little egg-white, cooked, shaped, frozen and finally packed. The finished products are sold under the Quorn brand name. Sales are doubling each year and Quorn products are the brand leader in meat alternatives.

Quorn products are not suitable for vegans as they contain a small amount of egg white. Unfortunately, due to the costs involved, it is not possible to despatch samples at this time.
