Quorn is the leading brand of mycoprotein food product in the UK and Ireland.[1] The mycoprotein used to produce Quorn is extracted from a fungus, Fusarium venenatum, which is grown in large vats.[2]

Quorn is produced as both a cooking ingredient and a range of ready meals. It is sold (largely in Europe, but also in other parts of the world) as a health food and an alternative to meat, earning the Vegetarian Society's seal of approval.[3] As it uses egg white as a binder, it is not a vegan food.

When Quorn was introduced into the United States in 2002, the Center for Science in the Public Interest expressed multiple concerns over the product. [2]
