Product of the Year: Omega-3

Consumer demand for, and knowledge of, omega-3s has risen spectacularly in recent years – leading to a raft of innovation and new product launches or omega-3 containing products. This award looks to reward the brightest and best branded or own-label supplements, foods and beverages containing omega-3 as a core ingredient.

    Our judging panel will base their decision on the following criteria: 

    • Whether your product meets a genuine consumer demand, and how relevant the core ingredient is in meeting this demand 
    • Evidence that the product works for its specified use, including peer reviewed data to back up any performance or health claims made
    • Brand recognition and the commercial success of your product, including evidence of strong retail and consumer interest or listings of your product.
    • Packaging ease of use and design, including appeal and ease of use, novelty 
    • Evidence of that your product and its delivery system(s) has no, or beneficial, impact on bioavailability (especially if citing single ingredient data).
    • What gives your product the ‘X factor’ – something that makes it stand out from the crowd and edge out the competition (including evidence to back up claims)
