The Private Label Manufacturers Association reveals its Salute to Excellence Awards.
At its year-end Private Label Trade Show, the Private Label Manufacturers Association announced the winners of its 2019 Salute to Excellence Awards. “It’s clear retailers are increasingly relying on innovations in store brands products and packaging to attract and keep shoppers,” the association said.
More than 750 store-brand food and non-foods products were submitted by 62 U.S. and Canadian retailers. The products were evaluated by eight panels of industry professionals and consumers, resulting in 44 food and 23 non-food winners. Criteria included product innovation, packaging, appearance, taste or performance, and value for money.
The food and beverage winners:
Food for the Family
Appetizers & Hors d’Oeuvres: Metro Irresistibles’ Pesto Seafood Gratin
Breakfast Cereal: Ahold Delhaize Limited Time Originals Limoncello Inspired Granola
Pasta Sauces & Cooking Sauces: Wakefern Food Corp. ShopRite Trading Company Imported from Italy Basilico Genovese DOP Pesto Sauce
Vegetables: Albertsons Signature Reserve Three Varietal Marinated Mushrooms
“This year’s Salute to Excellence Awards submissions continue to reflect the shift away from national brands as consumers gravitate to more unique and affordable products from the stores they know and trust,” said PLMA President Brian Sharoff. “Today’s retailers have a good pulse on consumer trends in their particular markets and their store brands are better positioned than the national brands are to satisfy that shopper’s appetite for quality products.”
