Refrigerated & Frozen Foods has hosted a Best New Retail Products Contest since 2013, but 2021 is the first time we’ve split frozen and refrigerated products into separate annual competitions. The first leg this year was for frozen foods, and after a month of voting throughout April, our top five was set based on vote totals from the public.
We spoke with each of the winning companies about how their products and packaging fit into a crowded and competitive frozen foods marketplace, what sustainability efforts they’re executing in 2021, and what their plans are for 2022 and beyond. Our overall winner—Devanco Foods—was also featured on an episode of our Cold Corner podcast, which you can listen to HERE.
