Vegetarian Shiitake Dumpling & Prawn Hargow, Native Fruit Extracts, and Hum Honey Cold Fusion are among the winners of Fine Food Australia's Best New Product Awards.
The awards recognise the most outstanding products to have launched in the food industry in the last twelve months, and demonstrate a high level of innovation and quality, and final entries had exceeded 400, organisers said.
“This year we’ve seen key trends such as health, sustainability, and technology – including robotics - reflected in the new products that were entered. Although there can only be a handful of winners, these Awards are a great showcase of all that is groundbreaking and innovative in our industry,” event director and awards host Minnie Constan said.
