Food NI member Moy Park is in line for a prestigious Grocer New Product/Packaging Award.
The Craigavon-based specialist in poultry products, Northern Ireland’s biggest and most successful food company, has been shortlisted for the final stages of the annual awards for a recently launched Fakeaway Buttermilk Chicken Tenders. The company is also in the running for an award for its innovative eco packaging.
The Grocer New Product and Packaging Awards has become the symbol of innovation in the UK food sector, and this glittering finals, will be held on Friday 8th November at Wembley Stadium, London, where we will hear the latest and greatest innovations that have hit the shelves in the past 18 months.
The event will recognise every shortlisted entry’s excellence, awarding a gold, silver or bronze medal in recognition of efforts to bring excitement and difference to grocery aisles.
Not only that, packaging innovation is also celebrated through eight additional awards which include Eco-Pack of the Year, Innovative Pack of the Year and Label and Pack Design of the Year.
Packed with flavour the Fakeaway range are frozen chicken breast fillets. Moy Park said there had been a notable increase in spending in this category as shoppers opt for more premium options and said there was a gap in the market for branded whole fillet frozen coated chicken.
