It has become impossible to find OMNI’s excellent plant-based ground pork and pork shreds in stores over the past few months.  I made some really good vegan dumplings with the ground pork [see here and here] and the shreds were good for making vegan tacos.  Now it seems that the only OMNI products being stocked are the Teriyaki Bao, which were very good, and the Potstickers.  There are lots of comments on Reddit lamenting the missing ground pork and shreds products.

Unfortunately, the potstickers are nowhere near as good as the bao – they were utterly flavorless, just a flavor void.  This is surprising since the ingredients include soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger and yeast extract (a way food companies add MSG to food without having to include it on the ingredient list).  At best these dumplings served as a dipping sauce delivery vehicle.  I really hope that they bring back the ground pork product, I want to make my own vegan OMNI pork dumplings again.
