Vumami Foods celebrates its first anniversary

Vumami Foods is celebrating two major business milestones: its first anniversary and its 100^th retail location. The Sidney (B.C.)-based company produces Umami Bomb, a vegan shiitake mushroom-based chili oil in four varieties: Medium, Hot, Garlic and Extra Hot.

“Vumami Foods was launched during the COVID-19 pandemic and that certainly came with unique challenges,” said Vumami Foods founder Nicholas Baingo. “As a new company with such a unique product, we were very fortunate that our retailers love Umami Bomb as much as we do and took a chance on us.”
