This sounds like they took a product that failed in the market - fungus based meat substitutes, and hinted at some superscience magic thats years from coming out, and that's if it proves safe, economical and a genunie improvement. This really looks like an attempt to get investors to come back and push the stock price.

Quorn is based on fungus. I'm not a huge fan of it myself but it's sold across the EU, and it's in almost all stores where I live.

Quorn is fine, but it's neither better nor cheaper than the plant-based fake chicken nuggets, so I'm not super enthusiastic about it.
