Frequently Asked Questions

Quorn is classified as a safe, well-tolerated food by regulatory bodies across the world, including the USA's Food & Drug Administration (FDA), and the UK's Food Standards Agency (FSA), among the world's most stringent food safety regulators.

Our products have been eaten for more than 30 years with nearly 3 billion Quorn meals now served. All Quorn products are classified as safe, well-tolerated food by the world’s most stringent food safety regulators, including the USA's Food & Drug Administration (FDA), and the UK's Food Standards Agency (FSA). But it’s important to know that Quorn products are a source of protein—and since all proteins can be allergenic or cause intolerance to some—consumers should be mindful of their personal sensitivities when introducing Quorn into their diet. That’s why we updated our packaging last year to explain possible sensitivities some may have when eating Quorn, despite reactions to Quorn products being significantly less common than foods such as soy, nuts and shellfish. The UK Food Standards Agency states that “between 1 in 100,000 to 200,000 people will react” or be intolerant to Quorn products. By comparison, one in 200 people are thought to be intolerant to soy. And these facts are supported by the millions of people around the world who safely enjoy Quorn’s great taste and nutritional benefits every day.
