Why enter?

As a leading provider of knowledge for food and health innovation in New Zealand, Massey University owns and organises the awards, recognizing the creativity, innovation and excellence of our largest export sector since 1987. Each year the awards celebrate new initiatives in food and beverage production and manufacturing, identifying not only company leaders who inspire others to meet their standards of excellence, but the creative work of product innovators in packaging design, nutrition, enterprise, food safety and quality.
