Quorn™_products

[Guest guest]

Unfortunately Quorn isn't kosher. I have noticed it from the beginning of it's

introduction here (Boston) and have been waiting with baited breath for a

hechsher to show up on the package but, alas, none have.

 

Maybe if enough people called them or emailed them to let them know how much

bigger their market would become, they might consider getting a hechsher.

I know that many of you are new vegetarians or still trying to get

used to a meat-free diet.

Quorn™ products are healthy, delicious and meat free (This is not an

advertisement, even if it looks like it).

The unique ingredient in all Quorn™ foods is mycoprotein which is a

nutritious member of the fungi family, as are mushrooms, truffles and

morels, and provides the taste and texture of a full range of meat

products and ready meals, but is entirely meat free.

Sounds strange, but in reality, it is a product that tastes much

better than soy. And an easy way to convince meat-eaters to try

something different for a change.

The McDonalds chain in the UK introduced it into their menu choice

and I just found out, it is available now in the USA.

For more information, go to http://www.quorn.co.uk/ or

I wrote to them when I first discovered it here in Britain. The non-

kpsher part of Quorn is or was the eggs (which they took, at least

here, from battery chicken.)

It turned out that even people who don't care about kaschrut or

vegetarian regulations were upset.

Here in Britain a few products do already bear a hechser, and I

assume its just a matter of time to catch up internationally (not

sure about all products..things like that take some time, but we are

backed up by all the vegans and vegetarians, who want clear eggs as

well in their food).

Anyway! I wrote once more to them (you can do that at their website)

and I recommend you all write to them,( asking difficult questions

about the eggs they use etc) and maybe it would not be bad to start

some discussions on kosher and/or Jewish cooking lists, talk to some

Rabbis etc.

 

Warm regards,
