USA: Quorn Foods launches chilled meat alternatives

UK-based meat substitute producer Quorn Foods is extending its product portfolio in the US with  a new line of refrigerated meat substitutes.

“Quorn’s US launch into the refrigerated meat alternative category follows years of intensive product development to ensure that the new Quorn refrigerated products deliver the same taste and quality for which Quorn frozen products are renowned”, the firm said in a statement.  The new line will be made from the firm’s proprietary ingredient Mycoprotein™, which is  described as being naturally high in protein and fibre and low in saturated fat and cholesterol.

Three new items are being introduced as part of the product launch: Chicken & Apple Sausages, Chicken Strips and Italian Sausages.

“Quorn’s new refrigerated products provide consumers with endless choice and versatility to prepare delicious and healthy meatless meals”, commented Ben Sussna, Quorn Foods USA head of marketing. “I truly believe consumers will love the taste, convenience and health benefits of our new refrigerated products”.
