Quorn Adverse Reaction Report
Quorn is made from a fungus that is grown in a vat (like bacteria) rather than plucked from the ground like a mushroom. The fungus is processed to simulate chicken or beef and sold as Quorn. Quorn has been available in the United Kingdom since the mid-1980s and later in the United States, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and elsewhere. Quorn causes allergic reactions, including vomiting, diarrhea, hives, and anaphylaxis in some consumers.

CSPI evaluates—and in some cases forwards—reports to health authorities (without any identifying information). Your report will be very helpful in understanding the extent of the problems caused by Quorn and in protecting other consumers.
The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) is a non-profit health-advocacy organization based in Washington, D.C. CSPI is well-known for advocating legislation that requires nutrition labels on most foods sold in the United States and for identifying problems related to sulfites, food dyes, and other food ingredients.
