The Good Housekeeping 2021 Healthy Snack Awards highlight innovative snacks in the food space that meet the publication’s nutritional criteria (including caps on perserving calories, sugar, and sodium). Good Housekeeping’s inhouse registered dietitian and team of nutrition experts in the
Good Housekeeping Institute’s Nutrition Lab rigorously analyzed ingredient lists, Nutrition Facts labels, packaging claims and flavor profiles of hundreds of snacks to find the best of the best. Consumer testers also weighed in on taste and provided additional real-life analysis.
The Delicious Living annual Best Bite Awards recognizes the best food products that prioritize flavor and clean ingredients, with Consumer Choice Awards (voted on by natural health shoppers) and Retailer Choice Awards (voted on by natural health retailers).
The Sweets & Snacks Expo’s highly coveted Most Innovative New Product Awards recognize companies for their achievements in introducing innovative candy and snack products to the market over the past two years.
