UK's No.1 Meat free brand launches campaign to change negative perceptions around meat alternatives and nutrition

To celebrate Quorn’s high in protein, no artificial ingredients frozen range hitting freezers and TV screens, the brand is teaming up with one of the UK’s most popular nutritionists (Rhitrition) to tackle misinformation around meat alternatives, nutrition, balanced diets and the “ultra-processed” classification system. With search trends for “ultra processed foods" continuing to increase and media attention becoming more heightened around the topic, Brits have now ranked this as their number one nutritional concern whilst on their regular food shop. The UK’s No. 1 meat free brand has created a no-nonsense, easy to understand downloadable guide for those who are keen to understand more about the facts, myths and misunderstandings around certain “ultra-processed’’ foods. The Quorn Foods fact file brings much-needed clarity to the confusing noise surrounding what “ultra processed’’ actually means for the everyday consumer, and why all processed foods are simply not equal. It also highlights the important role that processing can play in keeping our food system safe, sustainable and accessible for all. To support the campaign, Quorn has joined forces with Rhiannon Lambert, a leading nutritionist, author and podcast host. The campaign will combat misinformation and reframe the conversation around meat alternatives and nutrition using clear, actionable advice, backed by Rhiannon’s knowledge. Quorn and Rhiannon have worked closely to create the ultimate top tips blog. The blog, hosted on Quorn’s website shares Rhiannon’s top tips in terms of what to look out for when building an affordable, balanced and nutritious diet for the whole family, without missing out on delicious foods. Lucy Grogut, Head of Brands at Quorn Foods UK, says: “It’s been frustrating to see meat free options dismissed and demonised in sweeping generalisations about “processed" foods. Our products are a nutritious, delicious, positive protein choice. Through this exciting partnership with Rhiannon, we will cut through the noise with no-nonsense, expert insight, that genuinely helps people to make better food choices. “We’re the biggest name in meat alternatives and there’s a reason for that. We’re listening to our consumers, and we recognise that people want more simplicity when it comes to some of their favourite meals. We’ve got 40 years of delicious food creations behind us, and we’ve just developed our most simple and nutritious range yet, but we couldn’t stop there. With the support of Rhiannon, this next step in our campaign will help the everyday consumer see through scary headlines and polarising health claims, to develop a better understanding of the overall benefits in eating meat free more often with Quorn.” On partnering with Quorn, Rhiannon Lambert said: “As a nutritionist who is invested in the conversations around ultra-processed foods, it’s key to highlight that not all ultra-processed foods are the same. Quorn delivers a meat free option that is a complete source of protein, naturally high in fibre and low in saturated fat, with scientific evidence supporting its role in health. By removing artificial ingredients, Quorn is addressing concerns and making it easier for people to feel confident in choosing these products as a trusted alternative to meat.” Meat alternatives aren’t just nutritionally sound; it’s also about sustainability. As the recent EAT-Lancet 2025 Report highlights, our food system is a major driver of global greenhouse gas emissions. Its suggested solution? A “planetary health” diet, which means eating less meat each week and choosing more plant-rich foods. This isn’t about giving things up, but gaining healthier, more sustainable habits. The report underlines the need to see meat alternatives not as niche, but as essential to how we eat today. It’s a message Quorn and nutritionist Rhiannon Lambert share: small, everyday swaps can make a big difference for people and the planet. With 5 billion meals that can be made using the Quorn high protein, no artificial ingredients range, Quorn is on a mission to lead a delicious revolution in how the world chooses protein. Rhiannon will also be showing us all just how easy it is to create nutritious dishes at home using Quorn’s Mince and Pieces, which now have just four and three ingredients respectively. These are just two of the products that hit shelves in September with all artificial ingredients removed, but the same great taste. Quorn Strips and Swedish Style Balls complete the line-up of Quorn products that now contain no artificial ingredients. With health-conscious Brits increasingly checking the ingredients label of their kitchen favourites, these clear and simple ingredients lists are designed to appeal to that growing crowd, delivering maximum taste, with minimal fuss. Looking to make that simple swap with an easy evening meal?

Quorn is back on TV with Nothing To Hide

Quorn is back on TV for the second time this year with its biggest campaign for frozen meat free in over four years. Launching 4 October, the UK’s No.1 meat-free brand1 is rolling out ‘Nothing to Hide’, a multi-million-pound campaign celebrating its high protein, no artificial ingredients range, complete with a brand new ad creative. The 10-week blitz which includes TV, VOD, social, influencers, podcasts and PR will reach millions of consumers across the UK. The activity also includes Quorn’s biggest ever shopper marketing campaign in over 1,500 supermarkets in the UK. The activity will reach shoppers at up to 8 different touchpoints on their path to purchase including branded freezers, gondola ends, instore radio and online activity. The new ad creative, Nothing to Hide, stars the brand’s much-loved puppet crew, Perry Pig, Clarence Cow and Chickson Chicken cooking up delicious meals with Quorn’s frozen Mince and Pieces, plus a surprisingly reveal. Opening with the velvety tones of Colin McFarlane as Perry, viewers are treated to a mouthwatering Massaman curry made with Quorn Pieces, complete with the line: “no artificial ingredients.” At this point, the puppets then spot that their lower halves are pixelated. Cue Clarence’s startled outburst “Wait! No artificial ingredients, is that why we’re naked!?” Chickson’s shocked realisation that she too is naked cuts straight to another sumptuous dish, a smoky burrito, loaded with juicy Quorn Mince, described in Perry’s silky-smooth delivery. The ad signs off with a showcase of Quorn’s hero dishes, before giving viewers one last behind-the-scenes shot where Clarence asks, “Have we always been naked?” to which Chickson replies, deadpan: “I don’t know.” Lucy Grogut, Head of Brands at Quorn Foods, said: “Consumers are scrutinising ingredients more than ever, and we’re putting Quorn right at the centre of that conversation with our loveable puppets. Our distinctive trio unveil the naked truth about Quorn in a campaign where we’ve combined taste, health, education and humour to get the nation to question why they aren’t already buying Quorn, given how tasty, nutritious and convenient our products are.” The launch follows the success of Quorn’s “Mission Snack Swap” campaign earlier this year. The biggest campaign of its kind for the meat free snacking category drove up purchase intent among buyers of Quorn by almost 10% and kept non-buyer intent at a massive 74%2 whilst delivering record levels of sales and market share for Quorn’s snacking range3. System 1 testing shows ‘Nothing to Hide’ packs a similar punch, landing a Strong score for short-term sales potential and a Good for long-term market share growth. Quorn is also joining forces with a leading nutritionist, author and podcast host, Rhiannon Lambert on a myth-busting campaign to tackle misinformation around “ultra-processed” foods and reframe the conversation around meat alternatives. Lucy explains: “It’s been frustrating to see how often meat free gets dismissed and demonised in sweeping generalisations. Quorn Mince and Pieces are nutritious, delicious, and a positive protein choice. In partnership with Rhiannon, we will cut through the noise with no-nonsense, expert insight that genuinely helps consumers make better food choices.” The range also features bold new packaging that spotlights two key consumer priorities: High in Protein and No Artificial Ingredients. Backed by extensive consumer research, both claims achieved the top-level, five stars with shoppers. The new look packs which also roll out on Quorn Swedish Style Balls and Quorn Strips, also tested strongly, delivering uplift in shopper perceptions around taste and health credentials and, critically, purchase intent with both current and non-buyers , signalling a significant opportunity for growth.

However, we recognise that shoppers want more simplicity when it comes to their food. We’ve got 40 years of delicious creations behind us – and this is our most simple and nutritious range yet. It’s the same great tasting products that consumers love, but just without the additives that we know some are actively trying to cut down. “With this launch, we’re cutting through the confusing noise around meat free nutrition and leading a new, positive narrative. We have always said that the nutritional benefit of a food remains the most important factor in whether it is good for you or not, and we have extensive evidence on all our products to support their place in a healthy and balanced diet. Quorn’s new ingredients range provides a range of planet-friendly, protein packed products that deliver easy, tasty and nutritious swaps for the meals you know and love. “It’s healthy food for people and the planet, with no compromises. We’re helping consumers cut through the noise, at a time when polarising health claims and misconceptions are rife. We want to leave people thinking Quorn is ‘So Tasty… Why Choose the Alternative?” Once these products hit supermarket shelves, 25% of Quorn sales will be products that contain no artificial ingredients4, showing what a huge impact the changes will make. #RRP set at the discretion of individual retailers.

‘Mission Snack Swap’ - Reigniting a Summer of Snacking

The UK’s No.1 meat-free brand1, is kicking off a summer snacking extravaganza from 22 May. Backed by a multi-million-pound investment, Quorn’s ‘Mission Snack Swap’ campaign will be activated across TV from 24 May, VOD, online video, social media, influencers, PR and in store across the whole of the UK. The brand launched its latest campaign this week with a stunt that saw A-lister Tom Cruise ‘spotted’ on a snacking mission of his own, ahead of his latest Mission Impossible premiere. Excited fans near London’s Leicester Square were quick to stop and ask for selfies as Tom enjoyed his protein packed snack break of Quorn Cocktail Sausages before it was revealed that all was not quite as it seemed. One onlooker was overheard saying: “I can’t believe it, I’m such a big fan! I only popped out for some lunch and never expected to see Tom Cruise chilling in the park eating cocktail sausages!” Lucy Grogut, Head of Brands at Quorn Foods, said: “We’ve had so much fun with our puppets over the last few years, and they have become stars of the small screen. This year, we were excited to hear that our ‘Mission Snack Swap’ was launching back onto TV screens the same week as the latest Mission Impossible film hits the big screen. Our Tom Cruise lookalike had a ball (and bite!) with consumers, and it was the perfect way to start our summer of snacking. With such a close resemblance, he left shoppers really asking, ‘why choose the alternative?’ “We’re going into this campaign already in a strong market position, Chilled Meat Free snacks are the No.1 sector attracting shoppers to category, and Quorn is leading the way as the fastest growing brand in chilled meat free in the latest 12 weeks2. Last year, our “So Tasty’’ snacking campaign, the biggest of its kind for chilled meat free, brought over 400k new shoppers into the category3. We are continuing to invest in building on this momentum to keep Quorn firmly at the forefront of shoppers’ minds throughout summer and beyond. This campaign will be bigger than ever, running concurrently across more channels, and reaching shoppers across even more touchpoints.” “The ad creative is an engaging, tongue in cheek way to showcase that our high protein snacks may be mini in size but are mighty in taste.” Featuring Quorn’s eye catching puppet pals, Perry Pig, Clarence Cow and Chickson Chicken, the advert sees the gang on a ‘mission’ sneakily swapping out meat-based scotch eggs and cocktail sausages with tasty, high protein and low saturated fat Quorn Cocktail Sausages and Picnic Eggs, showing there really is no need for the alternative. Creative by adam&eveDDB, Media is handled by Initiative, Digital by Anything and PR by MTJ PR. Advert is directed by Jim Archer and puppets created by Andy Heath at Talk to the Hand Productions.
