Kansas City’s centralized location and infrastructure network, coupled with available spec space, make the region a hub for food and beverage operations.
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.
Congratulations to the top-five winners in our 2021 Best New Frozen Retail Products Contest! These five companies pulled away from the pack of 20 nominated products in online voting from April 2 to May 2, and will be honored with individual Q&As in our July magazine. The #1 overall winner—Devanco Foods—is also featured in a special contest episode of our Cold Corner podcast. You can listen to Devanco's podcast here.
Our Best New Frozen Retail Products Contest is officially live, where you can vote for one of 20 frozen food finalists. You can vote once a day for any of the finalists through May 2. See inside for more details.
Nominations are now open for Refrigerated & Frozen Foods’ 9th Annual Best New Retail Products Contest. Due to the popularity of last year’s competition with a record number of votes, we’ve split the contest into two this year: frozen foods in April, and refrigerated foods in August.
