The judging panel considered more than 140 entries from 23 countries in 15 categories.
“Innovation continues to be the key driver in the dairy industry,” said FoodBev Media’s Bill Bruce, “and that was evident in the wide range of new products and packaging ideas, use of new ingredients, great new marketing campaigns and a huge variety of nutrition and environmental projects that interact with consumers and the wider community.
“All this activity helps to make the dairy sector the most exciting food and beverage category. Every year, the Dairy Innovation Awards helps us shine a spotlight on the sector, drawing attention to positive trends. This year was no exception, and in fact we can see that there is a rise in new dairy entrepreneurs and a return to more consistent investment in innovation from the more established players.”
