Oatmeal Bars, GF Oreos and More, Among Canada’s Products of the Year

Product of the Year Canada, the largest consumer-voted award for product innovation, announced the highly anticipated winners of the 2023 Product of the Year Awards. With winners across 25 distinct categories, the products are awarded Product of the Year for outstanding innovation through a national survey of 4,000 Canadian shoppers conducted by Kantar, a global leader in consumer research.

“Product of the Year is more valuable now than ever. The level of access consumers have to products today is unprecedented – far beyond retail aisles, they have DTC options, grocery delivery in the palm of their hands, and they can watch their favorite influencer review items they’re considering purchasing in real time,” notes Mike Nolan, Global CEO of Product of the Year Management. “Product of the Year is an established and increasingly relevant resource for CPG companies, helping their products stand out while showcasing their exceptional quality and innovation. The 2023 award winners further demonstrate the ever-evolving trends we are seeing in the Canadian market and as a company we’re thrilled to be at the forefront of recognizing these products for top performing function, design, packaging, or ingredients.”

The winners of the 2023 Product of the Year Canada Award include:

Better For You Snacks | Go Pure Soft Baked Oatmeal Bars – Biscuits Leclerc

Bread | Country Harvest Everything Bread – Wonderbrands

Breakfast Foods | All-Day Breakfast Mini Quick Cook Hash Brown Patties – Cavendish Farms
