Partially heat and then refreeze

I've no issue with vegetarian food and I often eat it myself, but why call it bacon when it isn't bacon, doesn't look like bacon, doesn't taste like bacon, doesn't smell like bacon and doesn't feel like bacon? You may as well call mashed potato bacon.
As for partially defrosting and then refreezing, I wouldn't. You'll probably be fine doing that with most things, but I wouldn't be comfortable with it.

Yeah but the product he linked to is is the version made from Quorn sold by Asda that I imagine taste like and look like shoe-leather. They are not the same.
doesn't sound too kosher does it...
Tbh it does say Smoky bacon style on the box.
With regards to the refreezing, it states on the website you can let them defrost for 15 minutes at room temperature to separate them and then refreeze what has not been used - so I'm happy doing that.
OP himself linked to the Sainsbury's version that has egg, but supposedly isn't the same as the Quorn product. Still has egg though.

We've tended to microwave them for 30 seconds to separate and then re-freeze. Been doing that for 10+ years and not died yet!
What do you mean supposedly? They are still not the same despite containing eggs so I don't get your point?
You linked to the Sainsburys product to disprove the previous poster who said they had eggs. Or were you just linking to random similar products, and not the ones you are actually eating?

It actually says defrost at room temperature and place back in the freezer once separated online but not on the package.
That same Sainsburys page that you linked to above says they contain free range egg whites.

I think you miss the point. I emphasised that they were entirely different products since the item I referred to is mainly constituted with Soya and not Quorn despite them both containing the egg whites. They don't even taste the same. Myself and Stopper were not talking about, referring to and describing the same product. The fact that they both contain eggs is irrelevant.

microwave won't uni formally defrost....there will be hot spots.
i would place in the fridge until partially defrosted than separate then refreeze
