Are Quorn foods all natural?

What are Quorn foods made from?
Quorn foods are made with mycoprotein, an edible fungi like truffles, morels and mushrooms.
How is mycoprotein made?
Mycoprotein for Quorn foods is grown using a controlled fermentation process so that it can be harvested consistently. All natural vegetable flavorings are added to the mycoprotein to create the desired flavor (like chicken or beef), as well as a small amount of egg white. Then it's formed into shapes like nuggets, tenders and cutlets.
