Not a vegan, so its never been something I really looked up before.

A quick look at the Quorn website revealed their claim that their products have "0 cholesterol"
under Products>burgers>nutrition facts, it does not list cholesterol one way or the other.
Under ingredients. Second ingredient is "Rehydrated Free Range Egg White". Further down the list is milk protein. If there was cholesterol, i would guess one of those two ingredients to be at issue.

If they are claiming to be Vegan, than either they or I misunderstood what vegan means.

Well egg white wouldn't be vegan, but it also isn't a cholesterol source. The yolk is. HopeHoops Feb 2012 #2
