Informa announced its 4th annual SupplySide CPG Editor’s Choice Awards winners.

"The winning items stood out for bringing a combination of factors, from taste and delivery method to innovation in ingredients and cutting-edge science. They truly represent category leaders and set a high bar for next year’s program."

The award categories included: antioxidant supplements, bars, brain health, digestive health, energy drinks, functional food, heart health, joint health, juices, multivitamin, pet food/treats, pet/animal supplements, snacks, specialty supplement/food, sports nutrition, tea, weight management and women’s health.
