Fine Food Australia dished out awards for some of the year's best new products and businesses at the show last week.
Mini nom noms for kids by Nom Noms World Food won the 2017 Best New Retail Product, with its single course multi-compartment meals that give children the opportunity to mix, dip, pour and sprinkle.
Noshu 99% sugar free, indulgent cake mixes by Noshu Foods was the runner up along with rok Margaret River (Kombucha) by rok Margaret River.
A number of other new food service-related products were awarded in other categories, and the 2017 winners were chosen by a panel of industry experts.
“2017 has been a huge year for our industry and the number of new products we’ve seen entered reflects that,” said the host of the awards, event director Minnie Constan.
“We’ve also seen key trends such as the ongoing sugar-free and healthy alternatives movements reflected, and of course an ongoing focus on innovation and technology.
“What was common across all categories was a clear focus on creating products that meet consumer demands, regardless of whether the customer is from within or outside of the industry.”
Another winner at the show was The Australian Superfood Co. which won the first ever Lions’ Den (pictured at the top) which saw six emerging businesses fronting a panel of industry experts to present their business concepts.
The Australian Superfood Co, which uses local ingredients and working with Aboriginal communities to improve health, education and living conditions, will now take part in the FSAA Understanding Foodservice Program.
