Quote from Guest on January 14, 2019, 2:01 amHi guys -
I have been eating quorn mince and quorn steak strips since following the low vitamin A diet. I just wanted your opinion on the ingrediants, make sure i am doing the right thing.
Ingredients
- Mycoprotein™ (92%),
- Rehydrated Free Range Egg White,
- Natural Caramelised Sugar,
- Firming Agents: Calcium Chloride, Calcium Acetate,
- Gluten Free Barley Malt Extract
Note that it's egg whites and not the yolk, which does contain vitamin A.
Thanks for any help.

Quorn is a laboratory made meat substitute made from mold yeasts. It is free of vitamin a and what it looks like, some other nutrients like certain b vitamins as well (in some tables but not in others) , but is rich in zinc and selenium. The conflicting information mentioned above can be found in the downloadable pdf at mycoprotein.org below. First it lists nutritional content with no B vit being zero and if scrolling down it is compared with meat and chicken and here some B vitamins data are zero: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.mycoprotein.org/files/nutritional-profile-of-quorn.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwjdqMewzPHfAhXNlIsKHUh2Bo8QFjAAegQIChAB&usg=AOvVaw2UQsEhmnRSPLcrCMn0ip11&cshid=1547618180408

Thanks Liz -
I don't prefer it, at all 🙂 I just thought it looked as though it was free from Vitamin A so it was something extra I could add into my routine. I eat meat for most of my meals so thought it'd be good if occasionally I had something free from animal meat.
