Refrigerated & Frozen Foods' annual Best New Retail Products contest highlights F&B companies innovating the frozen/refrigerated foods categories!
Nominations may be submitted through the form below by U.S.-based food processors and manufacturers, as well as suppliers and marketing/PR firms. Products are selected based on uniqueness to the market, packaging enhancements, on-trend flavor profiles and addressing consumer needs. Seasonal, limited-time-only (LTO) or special-edition products are not applicable.
Up to 25 products will be selected as finalists for online voting throughout the month of March.
Eligible products need to have been launched on store shelves between January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2025. Products for sale before January 2025, are not eligible. Products must be refrigerated or frozen foods sold in the U.S.
The top-three finalists will be featured in Refrigerated & Frozen Foods’ May eMagazine and on our website, alongside a company Q&A. The product receiving the most votes overall will also be featured in an episode of our From the Cold Corner podcast in May.
