Silver sofi finalists announced

Would you be up for the challenge of sampling almost 1,500 products in three days? My hat is off to a team of specialty food veterans who recently assisted the National Association of the Specialty Food Trade judge 1,433 food and beverages in 33 product categories.
In the end, 111 products received silver sofis, short for Specialty Outstanding Food Innovation. In the specialty food industry, these awards are the equivalent of the Oscars.
Entries were judged on quality, taste, innovation, packaging, ingredients and pricing.
You can see the complete list of silver sofi finalists here:

Winners will be announced during an awards reception on Monday, June 29, at the Summer Fancy Food Show in New York.
In June, the NASFT will bring the judges to New York once again to judge the entries for Outstanding New Product of 2009 and Outstanding Product Line of 2009. Stay tuned...
