The winning products of the 2025 Healthy Food Guide Awards have been announced, with over 150 products from across supermarket shelves recognised for their nutritional value, including Allied Pinnacle’s high-fibre flour collaboration with Woolworths.

The Healthy Food Guide magazine’s team of dieticians came together to analyse hundreds of brands to determine the most nutritious and best value-for-money products.

Winners of key categories included:

  • Breakfast cereal – Weet-Bix
  • Bread – Burgen Wholemeal & Seeds
  • Bread alternative – Vita-Weat 9 Grain
  • Yoghurt – Vaalia Probiotics Creamy Natural Yoghurt
  • Yoghurt (non-dairy) – Kingland SoyPro+ Berries Yogurt
  • Dairy milk – Complete Dairy High Protein Light Milk
  • Non-dairy milk – Vitasoy Protein Plus Soy Milk
  • Spread – Mayver’s Pure Goodness Everything Spread

There were also a plethora of sub-categories under Convenience, Pantry Staples, Snacks, Beverages, Chiller and Frozen sections.

Allied Pinnacle’s high-fibre flour brand, Wise Wheat®, was recognised for its Woolworths bakery products – Woolworths Wise Wheat Hi Fibre Seeded Rolls in the Bread Roll category, and Woolworths Wise Wheat Hi Fibre White Loaf in the White Bread category.

The result of 20 years of global research and development by Australia’s national science agency CSIRO in partnership with Limagrain and GRDC, and bred by Australian Grain Technologies (AGT), Wise Wheat® flour yields 6x the fibre of regular wheat flour without compromise on taste.

Allied Pinnacle CEO, David Pitt, said the company was proud to partner with Woolworths to bring naturally grown Wise Wheat® to Australians through award-winning bakery products.

“These wins show that consumers don’t have to choose between health and taste – Wise Wheat® makes it easy to increase fibre intake naturally, without changing what you love to eat,” said Pitt.

One of the highest flavonoid-rich apples grown in Australia, Bravo® apples, won the Best Fresh Snack category. For leading Australian fresh fruit supplier and marketer, WA Farm Direct, the award acknowledges extensive and ongoing research and development into Bravo apples’ impressive nutritional profile and solidifies their position as a top-tier snack choice.

WA Farm Direct managing director, Jenny Mercer, said the company was incredibly proud that Bravo apples have been officially recognised as one of Australia's healthiest snacks.

“The award is due to the dedication of our growers who ensure every single apple meets the Bravo® quality standards,” said Mercer.

“Now there’s even more reason to enjoy a Bravo® apple. Not only are they delicious, but they are good for you and, with the crop now in peak season, spring is the perfect time for Australians to enjoy the crisp, sweet flavour and goodness that makes Bravo® apples so unique.”
