Finalists announced: Find out who made the NutraIngredients Awards 2017 shortlist

NutraIngredients is pleased to announce the shortlisted finalists for the 2017 edition of the NutraIngredients Awards, ... with the winners announced at our exclusive awards evening in Geneva on 10th May. Will you be joining us?

More than 200 high-quality entries over 13 awards categories made choosing finalists difficult, but our expert judging panel have done it - and 38 top entries have made the final cut for the third annual NutraIngredients Awards.

From SMEs to ingredient giants, universities and the edgiest product innovators, all finalists will be represented at our exclusive dinner and drinks awards night at the 5* Starling Hotel right by the Vitafoods expo at the close of show day 2 on May 10.

The shortlisted 38 will now go forward for a second round of judging, to take place in Geneva, before the winners are announced on the night of the awards.

For two special awards - the Reader’s Ingredient of the Year, and the Reader's Food Supplement of the Year - winners will be chosen by NutraIngredients readers in an online vote that is due to open soon. For both categories our readers will be able to choose from three finalists that have been shortlisted by our judging panel.
