In a highly competitive field, Little Dish Cottage Pie has emerged as the champion at The Grocer’s New Product & Packaging Awards 2023 in the Baby & Infant Food category. This remarkable achievement showcases the brand’s commitment to delivering innovative and high-quality meals for toddlers and young children.
Impressive Innovation in Food Processing
What sets Little Dish Cottage Pie apart is its utilization of “innovative patented, microwave-assisted technology” to pasteurize the meals post-packaging. This groundbreaking approach not only ensures food safety but also reduces cooking time, allowing the dishes to maintain their texture and nutritional value. Judges were particularly impressed by this technological advancement, highlighting it as a game-changer in the industry.
Quality Worth the Price
Despite its relatively higher recommended selling price (rsp) of £2.85 for a 200g serving, the quality of the cottage pie convinced the judging panel of its worth. Its rich taste, combined with the innovative cooking process, made it a standout product in the category.
Eco-Friendly Packaging Wins Accolades
In addition to the delicious cottage pie, Little Dish also received recognition for its commitment to sustainability. The packaging for this ready meal not only impressed the judges but also earned the brand The Grocer’s Sustainable Pack of the Year award for recyclability. Little Dish has successfully demonstrated that delicious food can go hand in hand with environmentally responsible packaging.
Silver and Bronze Standouts
In a field filled with exceptional products, Organix Kids Crunchy Waves – Carrot clinched the Silver Medal, while Kiddylicious Apple Crisps secured the Bronze Medal. Organix Kids Fruit Smash Pouches in the Red Berry & Apple flavor were also recognized for their excellence in this competitive category.
The Grocer’s New Product & Packaging Awards 2023 has not only celebrated innovation but also highlighted the dedication of brands like Little Dish in delivering outstanding products for the youngest members of our community. The future of baby and infant food is indeed looking bright.
