Quorn Cheesy Nacho Nuggs are being introduced in the UK market as a new product perfect for consumers to pick up as a way to elevate their favorite recipes in a plant-based way. The frozen product is made with mycoprotein to give it a protein-rich profile that doesn't have any meat in the mix and is thus suitable for vegetarians, while also being low in saturated fat. The product is great for use in tacos and wraps to incorporate a touch of protein, cheesiness and crisp texture thanks to its exterior coating.
Consumer Director Gill Riley commented on the Quorn Cheesy Nacho Nuggs saying, "We’re always keeping a close eye on trends, so we can launch the products that we know consumers will love. The demand for our Quorn Cheesy Nacho Nuggs will be huge. Alongside being big on social media, fried chicken style dishes remain popular in QSRs too. There’s a real appetite for crunchy bold flavours."
