Quorn
⚠ MushboohQuorn UK holds no halal certification. Most products contain egg white from non-halal-certified sources as a binder, and some products (such as Quorn Scotch Eggs) contain pork-derived gelatin. The mycoprotein base is halal, but the binders and lack of certification make standard Quorn Mushbooh. The Quorn Vegan range (free from egg and dairy) is considered halal by many scholars as it contains no animal-derived ingredients requiring slaughter certification.
