Now I have creatine supplements before I go to the gym.

Not big issues and I certainly don't think they're worth killing an animal for to avoid.

hi all

just got this e mail response re Quorn avaialability in Canada . . . maybe if all the veggies harass then they might push harder . . .

Thank you for your recent contact regarding Quorn products.

For your information all Quorn products are only made here in the UK and are branded and sold only by ourselves.

We have investigated selling Quorn products in Canada in reply to enquiries from other consumers.

The Canadian authorities specify minimum nutritional values for key nutrients for any 'simulated poultry substitutes' to be sold in Canada. As they currently stand, most of our products would not meet all of these criteria, and to achieve this, in some cases, it would be necessary to fortify Quorn products with some of these nutrients. Fortification does not at present meet with our brand values.
We are therefore unable to advise when or if we will be able to sell Quorn products in Canada.

As Quorn products are sold frozen, it is not feasible to despatch small quantities for direct sale.

Unfortunately, we do not sell our products direct in the USA this is only through distributors. UNFI distribute our products in Vermont, and may be able to work with you. We have heard from Canadians in the past that have done "Quorn runs" to the US taking coolers and purchasing products there and bringing back home to Canada for personal use.

Hope this information has been helpful. Feel free to contact us again with any additional questions or comments.

Yours sincerely

Tracey Cope
Consumer Care Advisor

My veggie brother, s-i-l and niece seem to be doing quite well on it in Scotland. Maybe it's the air? :confused:

Yeah I'm still failing to understand the support for the stuff when there's far better quality produce right here in Canada. Just let it go! :rofl:
