SPONSORED CONTENT -- (StatePoint) With a growing number of products lining grocery store shelves, feeding your household can often feel like solving a complicated puzzle.
Fortunately, shopping doesn’t have to be complex. Guiding consumers to the best products in the market is Product of the Year, the largest consumer-voted award for product innovation. Product of the Year winners are backed by the votes of 40,000 consumers in a national representative study conducted by Kantar, and have demonstrated meaningful consumer innovation in one of the following areas: function, design, packaging or ingredients.
“Seeking out Product of the Year’s red seal of approval is an easy shortcut for savvy shoppers in a hurry,” says Mike Nolan, global CEO of Product of the Year Management. “Knowing that the red seal means the product has been tested and approved by thousands of other shoppers can give you confidence that you’re spending your grocery dollars wisely.”
