I have finally received an answer from the all mighty powers that be over at Presidents Choice as to why the meatless meatballs disappeared.

Here is their tweet, in reply to my question:

@PresChoice: @chere_michelle We’re so sorry but our Meatless Meatballs are no longer available. We’ll be sure to share your comments with our team.

Share my comments? Thanks but will that put another vegetarian option on the shelf? Or fall on deaf ears?

I fully expect the rest of the meatless line to vanish.

UPDATE: This tweet just in

@PresChoice: @chere_michelle Our Meatless Meatballs will be re-launching in Summer of 2013

Takes a year to re-launch an already fabulous product with a loyal following?

ONE MORE UPDATE STRAIGHT FROM A 9 YEAR OLDS MOUTH:  “Why do they need to fix it? It’s already great.”

Well said kid.
