Quorn Scotch Eggs

[PatchworkPuss]

Can I ask people's opinions on these?

Syns online says they are 2½ syns each. But each egg is 51 calories so that is a straight 1 syn for every 20 calories without taking into account any free food allowance.

The main ingredient is mycoprotein aka quorn and if I put the nutritional info into the calculator giving it a free food allowance they come out as 1 syn each.

I don't understand why they have no free food allowance - can anyone enlighten me or do you think it is a mistake?

was wondering the same thing myself.

I don't know but would guess that it's because the quorn content is actually pretty low at 34% and it's heavy in breadcrumbs, stuffung, rusk etc which all has a syn value. Also the fat content is quite high at 2.9g per egg (11.5g per 100g). Interesting point though!
