ALDI Scores Big in Product of the Year Awards

The Product of the Year award winners for 2024 have been crowned, bringing together 46 innovative CPG products from across the grocery store. Awardees are determined based on a national study of 40,000 American shoppers in partnership with Kantar, and run the gamut from allergy care and cat litter to pasta and wine.

ALDI had quite the showing in this year’s Product of the Year awards, with its exclusive offerings taking home top honors in five categories, including Bread, Cooking Essentials, Juice, Pasta and Wine. Winning items included Specially Selected Sliced Italian Loaf, Simply Nature Spray Oil, Nature's Nectar OJ Blends, Priano Hearty Ravioli and Belletti Prosecco, each of which is an ALDI-exclusive product. 

"The significance of Product of the Year has reached new heights in 2024 as consumers enjoy unprecedented access to products, and the marketplace becomes more dynamic with strategic partnerships that amplify reach and impact," said Mike Nolan, global CEO of Product of the Year Management. "The Iconic Product of the Year Seal not only recognizes innovation but also signifies a powerful endorsement in the modern retail era, enhancing the winners' visibility and credibility in the marketplace.” 

Continued Nolan: “The 2024 award winners reflect the ever-changing trends in the American market while also highlighting outstanding features in function, design, packaging, or ingredients. As a company, we are enthusiastic about maintaining our position at the forefront of recognizing and celebrating these remarkable products."
