The first ever NutraIngredients Awards is set to be a festival of celebration for the nutraceutical and nutritional ingredients world, with large and small-scale companies featuring in our 20 strong shortlist of finalists.

From the major market forces of DuPont, Stratum Nutrition and Chr Hansen, to innovative SMEs and start-ups, we received more than 125 entries across seven categories. From this, our group of independent and expert judges spent hours sifting the entries down to just 20 shortlisted finalists – who will now go forward for a second round of judging before the winners are announced.

For one special award, the Reader’s Ingredient of the Year, the winner will be chosen by NutraIngredients readers in an online vote that is due to open soon. In this category our readers will be able to choose from the three finalists that have been shortlisted by our judging panel.
