Yesterday we found these at Outpost (local health food store). Because it's the first vegan item to come from Quorn we decided to give them a try.

We were pretty disappointed by the taste. It definitely did not live up to the hype of Quorn products that we had heard previously (at least not to us).

But when Paul was putting the information into the SparkPeople website he noticed something interesting. He handed me the box and asked me to see if I noticed anything weird.

So I started reading. And then I saw it. The nutrition label says 1 burger, 100 calories, 35 Calories from fat. 4 grams of fat. 5 mg of cholesterol.

Then I stopped and re-read that line.

5 mg of cholesterol? I had never heard of a vegan product with cholesterol in it.

I searched the web and found many sources that say vegan products do not contain cholesterol so I'm rather confused by this one.

On edit: Here is the information from their website:
