New York-based OmniFoods’ 100 percent plant-based, pork-style proteins are now on store shelves in the freezer aisles at Sprouts Farmers Market and Whole Foods Market. OmniPork Ground, OmniPork Strips and OmniPork Luncheon are available at all 371 Sprouts Farmers Market stores across 23 states, whereas OmniPork Ground and OmniPork Strips are available in select Whole Foods Market stores.
OmniFoods are made using a proprietary blend of plant-based protein from non-GMO soy, peas, shiitake mushrooms and rice. Consisting of OmniPork Ground, OmniPork Strips and OmniPork Luncheon, the three OmniPork series offer flexibility for cooking with flavors from any cuisine. The OmniPork Luncheon is the first of its kind globally and is a potentially healthier alternative to canned pork counterparts, becoming an accompaniment for ramen, musubi, bagels or sandwiches.
Following the successful launches of other plant-based beef alternatives in America, OmniFoods has brought its plant-based pork alternative stateside, continuing its global expansion. The all-purpose OmniPork series’ popularity is a credit to its versatility because of its tender and juicy texture, as well as varieties which can be seasoned, steamed, pan- or deep-fried, stuffed or crumbled to create additions to sandwiches, burgers, pastelillos, pasta sauce, banh mi, sushi, dumplings, spring rolls, gravy, fried rice, noodle bowls and more.
“After our successful expansion throughout Asia, Australia and the UK since 2018, we are incredibly excited to bring OmniFoods to more people and communities by being on shelves at all Sprouts Farmers Market and select Whole Foods Market across America, bringing OmniFoods to an estimated 40,000 point of sale locations around the world,” said David Yeung, founder of Green Monday Holdings and OmniFoods. “By providing our growing consumer base with a healthy and delicious plant-based pork alternative, we continue to fulfil our mission to construct a multi-faceted global ecosystem of future food that helps to combat climate change, food insecurity, public health crisis, planetary devastation and animal suffering.”
After a recent launch with 25 chef and restaurant partners in California and Hawaii, as well as a national pop-up brand travelling through the Midwest, OmniFoods has attracted wide attention on social media @omnifoods.global from people who appreciate the impact that food has on the world as well as in popular dishes. In addition, a team of chefs has created numerous Asian and Western cuisine recipes using OmniFoods that are quick and easy to prepare. Full recipes are available for everyone to try at home.
