email sent from Marlow foods re mcdonalds

Dear .......

We are writing in response to your email, where you expressed your disappointment about the Quorn Premiere being sold in McDonalds.

As a company, Marlow Foods manufactures Quorn, the brand name for a range of deliciously satisfying meat free foods. We have been in business in the UK for nearly twenty years during which time we have developed an extensive range of products appealing to vegetarians and others who want to reduce the amount of meat they eat.

Our goal is to provide healthy choices for better lives and we aim to get Quorn products onto as many shopping lists and menu's as we can to provide consumers with a delicious meat free choice, which is so often lacking in restaurants and shops alike.

We have therefore developed the Quorn Premiere with McDonalds as part of this objective to provide a delicious new choice for McDonalds customers.

If we were to restrict the distribution to restaurants and shops which don't sell meat, then Quorn would be unavailable to the vast majority of consumers.

We strongly believe that by making our product available in as many places as possible, more people will discover that there is a real alternative to meat, which is something we hope you would approve of.

We trust that this letter helps explain our position. We very much hope that you will feel able to continue to enjoy our products.

Yours sincerely


Mrs Jill Page
Consumer Services Manager

from them a good 4 months ago, same person, same letter!

As we are not all vegan, and may not want to be(!)then lets all agree we chose to eat our own 'shit'.
Quorn is better than factory farmed chicken etc..... but supporting McD and trying to make them look 'good' is just bollox...... I've not bought it since i found out they were going to get into bed with McD. If it does sell, expect to see quorn assimilated into golden west foods!!

supermarket loyalty

Yes I am aware it's not vegan. It's interesting what processed stuff is sold at health food places - cheesely, 'chicken roll' stuff etc. Then the quality of fruit and veg ie unfresg, tasteless, forced grown in this country.

Why on earth do people use the large supermarket chains ( bright lights, packet waste, expensive, old, and no taste )? There can be a problem with this too with skipping ( except it's cheaper and less waste ). There's only one thing for it - revolution, take back the land, fuck off the cars and factories ( and grow some nice toms like my grandad used to ).

Quorn contained (battery) eggs and milk

17.12.2004 19:14

Quorn contains eggs, battery eggs in many products or factory-farmed "free-range" eggs in some products (ie 40 000 chickens crammed into a barn so tightly that few of them ever find their way to the outside enclosure, fed on antibiotics, pecking each other to death, creating tons of excrement, inhumanely strung up and killed as soon as their productivity falls . . .) Quorn also contains milk, which entails just as much cruelty and is just as environmentally damaging - and maybe this milk is from gm fed animals. Anyone checked this?

Quorn may be better than factory farmed chicken, but only because it contains less cruel, earth-destroying animal products than a slab of dead chicken or cow does. The best option is to eat none of these products at all.
