Quorn meat-substitute

Quorn is a pioneering brand in the meat-substitute market, famous for its use of mycoprotein, a nutritious fungus-derived protein discovered in the late 1960s. The brand was officially launched in 1985 through a joint venture between RHM and ICI. It has since grown into a global leader in vegetarian and vegan food, offering everything from mince and pieces to ready meals and snacks.

While the brand has its roots in the United Kingdom—where the majority of its fermentation and production still takes place in North Yorkshire—it belongs to a vast international supply chain. The brand's journey through various corporate owners culminated in its acquisition by the Philippines-based food giant Monde Nissin. Today, Quorn is a central pillar of Monde Nissin's meat-alternative division, reflecting a shift toward sustainable, plant-based diets on a global scale.
