Sales of vegetarian food are on the rise in meat market

QUORN owner Premier Foods said last night that strong sales would lead to a major investment and new jobs on Teesside.

Premier, which bought Quorn makers Marlow Foods last year for £172m, is looking to increase capacity across its Quorn production sites in Stokesley, in North Yorkshire, and Billingham, Teesside.

Premier said yesterday it had seen a double digit percentage rise in sales of Quorn for the six months to July 1.

It currently employs 374 people across the two sites in the region.

However, a spokesman said last night that, due to Quorn's strong performance, Premier was "reviewing its operations for increasing capacity".

1. This is a very significant suggestion.

The fact (from the article) that folks are buying this not because they're vegetarian but because they want to eat healthier.

It's sinking in...minds might be opening...

The "turkey roast" is great and we love the "chicken filets"
