Healthy Food Guide Award Review
The Healthy Food Guide Awards, now in their fourth year, celebrate products that deliver on great taste, plus nutritional benefits. The awards were judged by an expert panel, including Healthy Food Guide magazine nutrition editor, Amanda Ursell.
“It’s great to see manufacturers striving to improve the nutritional quality of their products and to use innovative ingredients and processing to achieve this,” says Amanda.
“Whilst it’s not easy to create products that tick all the nutritional boxes, it’s great that many are making notable strides in the right direction. Even when steps are smaller, this is still to be applauded as small steps can be built on and further improved.
“Making healthy food that also tastes great is not easy but our winners have tried hard to achieve these tricky criterion.”
