What this means

Our record lists Quorn as a brand of Marlow Foods Limited, which sits under Monde Nissin Corporation. Ownership is a separate question from how a product is made: a brand can hold its own certifications while its parent company operates under different policies.

Quorn appears on one scheme we check: The Vegan Society Trademark. Each scheme sets its own criteria, so read the certifier's own entry, linked above, for what it covers.

We have not yet verified an animal-testing position for Marlow Foods Limited, so we make no claim either way. We publish sourced facts and dates so you can judge them yourself; see how we verify.

  2. Supports: Quorn offers a dedicated vegan range with products certified by The Vegan Society Trademark. However, not all Quorn products are vegan; traditional products contain egg white as a binder, while vegan formulations use potato protein instead.

  3. Supports: Monde Nissin Corporation's published sustainability policy does not explicitly address animal testing. The parent company has not made public statements on animal testing policy specific to food development. Nissin Foods Group (related entity) committed in 2024 to banning animal tests not required by Japanese law for food products, but this commitment is not attributed to Monde Nissin Corporation directly.
