Since its launch in 2007, Summer Fresh Snack’ n Go hummus and flatbread - a great-tasting, nutritious and portable snack - has wowed consumers, nutritionists and food industry insiders alike. And now, it has also been recognized as the “Best Snack” and “All Canadian” product at the 15th annual Canadian Grand Prix New Product Awards, sponsored by the Canadian Council of Grocery Distributors (CCGD).
“A big win like this at the Canadian Grand Prix New Product Awards reinforces our strong commitment to providing Canadians with innovative, healthy solutions that fit their busy lifestyles,” says Susan Niczowski, CEO and owner, Summer Fresh. “With Snack’ n Go, we have created a delicious and convenient snack with the freshest ingredients and no preservatives – and the response to this product, from children to adults, is overwhelming.”
The annual Canadian Grand Prix New Product Awards honours products for leadership in packaging, design, originality and quality. This year’s esteemed panel of 32 judges included Chefs as well as consumers, food editors, journalists, advertising executives, packaging designers and CCGD distributor members from across Canada.
The first of its kind in Canada, Snack’ n Go is the ideal portable snack solution to fit any situation - whether, going to the office, sending the kids to school, or post-workout. Just slip it into a lunch bag, knapsack, or briefcase, for a delicious and nutritious snack anytime and anywhere.
The new Canadian Food Guide has spotlighted hummus as a healthy addition to daily meals. A three-quarters cup of hummus equals one serving of the two to three servings of protein an adult requires in a day. Snack’ n Go Hummus and Flatbread snacks are Health Check Certified by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.
This year Summer Fresh Snack’ n Go Hummus and Flatbread has also been recognized as the “Best New Item” and “Best Kid-Friendly Item” by the Canadian Liver Foundation at its inaugural LIVERight Awards.
